I love bridges. They connect. They open up new ways to go. They leap across boundaries and barriers. They make possible what previously appeared impossible. But I especially like that they symbolise betweenness – the relationship between you and me, between us and the other.
I love autumn too. It’s a season of coming to fruition, a season of change. The colours of the leaves transfix me, turning the average walk into a visit to a gallery. I love it for its beauty. But I especially like that it symbolises betweenness – transition and transience and emergence.
Together in this photo, the bridge in autumn, inspires me to contemplate betweenness and relationships, becoming not being, how life is made of experiences and events, and how what matters most is the quality of our relationships.
