Bridges to Cross

We each have Bridges to Cross

Sometimes we decide to follow a different path and do not cross the bridge at all. Who knows, perhaps it is best not to cross every bridge that we approach. However, there are times when we know the bridge we must cross!

Photography of the earth’s bountiful nature has always inspired me to see the beauty in each one and to explore further before making judgments. As I take a closer look at nature, I ask myself: How is my life like this aspect of nature? What can I learn about life, about myself? How does this give me new insights into my relationships?

Simple at first sight – Profound at first step

Some decisions we face require a simple response like yes or no. Yet, we know the profound ramifications of our choice. It is in those defining moments that we must decide for ourselves who we are or who we aspire to be and make a life choice. Our decisions come much easier when we make them consistent with who we really are.

Other Decisions Require Deeper Reflection

There are times when our decisions do not just affect us but may have a profound effect upon others. We must still make decisions based on who we are, but before deciding we would do well to reflect on the consequences of our choice. These decisions often are more difficult to make and may cause some suffering. Thus, we must go deeper into who we are and reflect the best of our integrity in the tough decisions that face us.

Moonlit Landscape

Moonlit Landscape with Bridge

It is always special to experience seeing the moonlight softly shining across some water. Playing with us, peaking in and out of the clouds, creates a desire to stay present with our experience, waiting to see what will be next. Sharing the experience with a friend helps us to bridge the gap between the times when too much or too little is asked of us. Yet, being able to share even a few moments of time like this we can feel freshly alive, aware, and present.

This original oil on panel 1648/1650 painting by Aert van der Neer is titled Moonlit Landscape with Bridge. Minimal digital image alterations have been made to renew and enhance image.
