Bridges
In every conceivable manner, the family is link to our past, bridge to our future. - Alex Haley
Bridge is a structure built to span a physical obstacle such as a body of water or valley.
Connotatively, it could be thought of as inherently symbolic. A passage to reality. The transition from what is worldly to a sense of purity and inner peace.
Bridge is connection.
It is union in a family.

Yet, like branches on a tree, we all grow in different directions, perhaps building too many walls and not enough bridges.
We definitely are not perfect nor need to be, but we need to remind ourselves that our roots remain as one.
We may not have it all together, but together we have it all.
Understanding is the bridge between two minds. Love is the bridge between two souls.

Bridge is family that carries us over,
as the river of time
flows past.
