Walking a bridge always takes courage.

This is particularly true if the bridge has been abandoned, become treacherous, or otherwise suspect.

Why do we do it anyway? Walking across a bridge is the quintessential metaphor (the pattern) for change.

When done right, it is a slow process, and involves looking at what we are transcending.

It also involves facing, eventually, the other side.

And finally, the test: Can we look back and accept where we come from? A bridge is not about abandoning the past, but connecting it with the future.
