Beautifully expressed , Jimi. Very though provoking words. Time is like a gate a between past and future , I think. No matter how many bridges we build or burn in our life..time will always keep the gate open.
thank you for your kind and thoughtful comment as always Francina, every time i go to this particular bridge there are always birds flying around and ducks floating, trees swaying in the breeze and just on the other side is a waterfall that flows into the river …. just the mere act of strolling across is an honor so magical it can’t really be described in words, it is just a feeling so grand that i keep going back for more …. and i agree with you about keeping the gate open while building bridges is a worthwhile experience to enjoy and participate in with full spirited joy ….:)
the sounds, the sights, the fragrances, the serenity, the action, and the pure feelings felt here at this place truly is gorgeous indeed Francina …. anytime you are in the Chicago area, i will take you there if you wish to go …. 🙂
Thank you, Jimi. If I ever visit Chicago again, I will take you up on your invitation, one does never know what the next journey would be through life. And if you ever visit Holland , just let me know and I could show you places other than Amsterdam 🙂
Ciao, Francina
so glad you liked Cat, this place where the photo was taken draws me in like a magnet each and every time and it being so close i can get there in a blink of an eye …. which can be quite comforting in many ways, hope you are doing well my friend …. :o)
In the blink of an eye …..!!!! dig it 🙂
we all have places like this right ?
that’s so cool 🙂
and yes for sure comforting
we all need those special places where it’s fun to dive into 🙂
i am doing well thanks 🙂
enjoying a wonderful summer …
art music nature
all of that 🙂
best to you always xx

Ahh – another blessed bridge ~ and this one we can cross by foot.
Your poem is lovely Jim… poingnant metaphors for life and nature ~ “emotions in motion” ~ so fitting!!
Enjoyed much 🙂 Sending good thoughts your way friend!
giggling inside, actually this bridge is the same one as in the previous post but shot from a different angle with a little more action going on …. this particular sanctuary of sorts is only a brief stroll from my front door and i go there quite often alone or with friends, either way i truly do enjoy going there …. it really is a slice of heaven and all my senses and emotions become quite engaged here with each and every breath, very glad you enjoyed dear Robyn and sending you good thoughts as well my friend …. :o)
yes Don, the bridge of life is much different than a vcr or dvd player if you will …. there is no rewind, fast forward or basically not even a pause button …. only play in motion, moving along at a pace as steady as a healthy heartbeat can be …. thanks for your cool comment as always ….:)
