A path laid between two sides, carrying the traveller across.
origins
Bridges have always been more than stone or wood — in myth they connect the worlds of the living and the dead, the known and the unknown.
meaning
Transition, link, and trust. The bridge shows that distance can be crossed, and that connections create new paths forward.
today
Bridge reminds us that we are always moving between stages of life — childhood to adulthood, endings to beginnings, isolation to belonging.
practice
Pause when you cross any bridge, physical or symbolic. Ask: What passage am I making right now?
endurance
Bridges endure because connection is the nature of life itself — no gap is ever too wide to be crossed.
