At one time rivers
and waterways connected the peoples with
trade and community, but with the advent
of horses, buggies, and horseless
carriages, these same waterways became
barriers to everyday endeavors. Spanning
these wet gorges connected folks, made
business possible, and added a work of
beauty to the landscape. In
Moonlit Passage, the bridge
isn't really the focus. I want you to be
able to see where you are going, those
houses over there, the country church,
the family relationships (which you
don't want to end) - those are the
important things; and then, recognize
that the bridge is the way to get there.
In today's society, it seems we are
neglecting the bridges that connect us.
We are forgetting the importance of what
is "over there," and becoming more
isolated and separated. Maybe we connect
digitally, but the longing to really
connect with "face time" where we see in
to each others soul is rarely fulfilled.
Moonlit Passage is that
place in time when you realize you want
to come in from the cold, cross on over,
and get back to what you were made for.
