Let's Hear it for Bridges
Posted: October 26, 2024
A floating bridge connects Mercer Island to downtown Seattle…
We are islands of opinions
separated by our views
and the isolation that results is wrong.
Our beliefs reflect our values
and determine how we’ll vote,
yet the way we live together makes us strong.
Where I live is on an island.
But a bridge from here to there
means I am not left alone with just my thoughts.
I’m connected and am able
to both listen and to speak
and I’ve found I like this interchange a lot.
Don’t you think we need more bridges
to encourage ebb and flow
in a culture where it’s your way or it’s mine?
Building bridges to each other
will allow for give and take
in a world where easy answers rarely rhyme.
