Sometimes I think change is like crossing a bridge. You know where you are, you have an idea where you’d like to be, and you see the bridge you have to cross to get there…..
But then when I saw this bridge I realised that change is often more complex than that. There are several stepping stones you have to negotiate before you even get to the bridge!
Doesn’t your life feel like that sometimes?
How many steps do you have to take before you even get to the bridge?
And once you get to that bridge…….what lies over the other side? You can’t see it yet, can you, but you’ve at least decided you’re going to go and explore it.
Well, this is exactly where I am. I’m in the process of moving to live in another country. I can see the bridge, but I’m still negotiating the stepping stones! Exciting, huh?
Just as an aside, the other interesting thing which struck me about this particular scene is that the river which the stepping stones and bridge are designed to help you cross doesn’t actually seem to be there at the moment – its grass instead of water. A lot of rivers are like that, sometimes flowing full and fast, and sometime trickling along a path (usually a stony path, but in this case a green one!) So maybe in certain circumstances you don’t need all these stepping stones and bridges, you just walk straight across…..
