Musings & Memories Montage Telling My Stories and Discovering Your Stories
Haiku #4 -- Bridges 04/15/07
This week the prompt over at One Deep Breath was about bridges.
here to there; far, near low to high; short, long, longer connect and divide
Yes, that whole strip in the top image is a bridge. Click on it. Then, when you get to the album page, click on the magnifier (right of the "share photo" link). The second bridge is the bridge from the swamp to the hill in the section of the Appalachian Trail that we run away to. I bet you can guess which bridge inspired which words. But the division thing is from this quote a gentleman said to me. "Pam, there are three things that will divide families, communities, cities ... bridges, bodies of water, and train tracks."
I enjoy your comments. And I want you to enjoy reading each other's comments. To that end purpose, I moderate comments. If you're impatient, MeeboMe.
Commenting Ideas
If you do not have a blog or site, skip the "web site" line, pull a name or "handle" out of your head, write a note, push the button. (No excuses!)
If this entry reminds you of a story of a similar place in time in your life, you are welcome to tell your story.
If you discover your story is taking more than 3 or 4 paragraphs (and if you have a place on the web for your writings), I will not be insulted if you take your story back and finish it at your own site. But then I will be disappointed if you don't come back and leave me a summary of your story and a link -- in the comments.
If you have already written a story about a similar place in time, please feel free to leave a summary and a link.
It's never too late to make a comment or tell a story.

~ Ya know I thought the same thing ... until I lived at the far end of a very long bridge that spanned a lake. Then I understood. They are very capable of doing both. Still, it took the gentleman saying it to me bluntly for me to fully recognize that they separate as much as they connect. ~pam
Who are You? 08/18/06 I am me ... I run around with my long hair in a French braid. I camp and hike (often in the city). I live in Upstate NY right on the very edge of The Great Swamp. Continue...
Why does this Site Exist? 10/26/06 My website is largely my memoir ... my musings, photos, encounters, life's stories.
But what really thrills me is that when I let go of my stories, it's like sending out little sail boats out on expeditions. Very often they come back to me filled with other people's stories. Continue...
