43/Building the bridge

Scavenger Hunt 43 Poetry Building The Bridge (1898) by Will Allen Dromgoole, who was an author and poet born in Murfreesboro, Tennessee. She wrote over 7,501 poems; 5,000 essays; and published thirteen books. Building The Bridge (1898) An old man, going a lone highway, Came, at the evening, cold and gray, To a chasm, vast, and deep, and wide, Through which was flowing a sullen tide. The old man crossed in the twilight dim; The sullen stream had no fears for him; But he turned, when safe on the other side, And built a bridge to span the tide. "Old man", said a fellow pilgrim, near, "You are wasting strength with building here; Your journey will end with the ending day; You never again will pass this way; You've crossed the chasm, deep and wide, — Why build you this bridge at the eventide?" The builder lifted his old gray head: "Good friend, in the path I have come", he said, "There followeth after me to-day A youth, whose feet must pass this way. This chasm, that has been naught to me, To that fair-haired youth may a pitfall be. He, too, must cross in the twilight dim; Good friend, I am building this bridge for him." Wikipedia

A bridge from shadows to next challenge

Sunday Challenge 49 post 11 June - Bridge SYDNEY HARBOUR BRIDGE/AUSTRALIA A very fine collection of shadows. Now to a solid structure, or a shadowy metaphorical idea in SC49 - Bridge. A bridge usually crosses "a hard-to-manage gap, such as a river, a sea or a valley. In most cases, ways should be shortened, eased or simply made possible. The natural difficulties vary each time and need a different type or variant of bridge..." www.memecon.info/?p=1869 from 2018 In other contexts a bridge can be metaphorical. Whatever you are trying to achieve, whether in a project, or life in general, if you and/or everyone involved has a clear idea of the goal, a "bridge", or plan, that can be seen, will make it easier to reach that goal.

Bridge over Yabba Creek

Imbil Railway Bridge in Queensland. Another view in note. The 1915 bridge on the Mary Valley railway line is a landmark structure crossing Little Yabba Creek, at the charming town of Imbil. It may be viewed from the road bridge on the north-eastern side of town. The railway was built to support and enhance local agricultural production, particularly dairying. This style of steel bridge is a half through Pratt Truss, which was developed in 1908 and much stronger than earlier designs. This is one of five bridges of this kind remaining in Queensland.
