A bridge’s invitation to new perspectives

A bridge can bring an invitation to new perspectives.  Will we accept the offer?

Some will accept and climb to higher points, with higher cost…

…and increased fear.  Will they feel the price is worth it?  You have to ask them.

Today, I choose to simply accept the invitation, and walk across… with Love beside me.

I wonder, beginning a new partnership and commitment together, while a bridge rises above them…where will life lead them…us?

Half way across, we find that new perspectives bring new revealings of beauty.

On the “other side”, we find new neighbors with even envious views.

We may even return, when darkness sets in and catch hints of the setting sun.

Some new neighbors reveal fears from within and yet, curiosity and wonder are there also.

Then, as we reach the “other side” we join those who have gathered and glance “back” with a new perspective.

Turns out, new perspectives can reveal new beauty and a new sense of “awe”…

…that never could be “seen” unless we accept the bridge’s invitation.

Don’t let our own fears or even looming darkness, keep us from from taking steps towards possibility, wonder and potentially, even…transformation.

May the Spirit reveal new perspectives to us and may we be open to take steps to see, a new way.
