The bridge is a symbol of passage – symbolically connecting our world with the afterworld.
In Ancient cultures, including Ancient Rome, the constructions of bridges were considered as sacred and usually would be accompanied by rituals in order to secure the passage. Priests then were responsible for the bridges and from this emerged the term “Pontiff” – that until this day is used by the Pope.
Rainbows as well as the Milky Way are also considered as bridges towards other levels of existence.
But bridges are not only connections between two worlds; they also represent a passage towards a new form of existence. In Ancient China, virtuous men would be able to walk over a bridge that was a thick as a hair, while corrupted people would fall into the abyss.
So now you take the floor: what do you associate with the bridge?

Friendship is a bridge connecting me to another person on a deeper level.
Lately I feel like the Universe is teaching me about friendship. Being connected to others by friendship, learning what it means to give myself to another person through friendship another level of love. So far the lessons have been testing and sweet!
a bridge is a link, a connection.

Bridge symbolises a deep meaning. For me it means transformation .. I tell you whenever I cross a bridge I see beauty around me then recalls my past and be determine for my future.
The bridge: A risk. The only path forward. The only way to achieve the next knowing is to pass through this narrow, risky space. Our world folds inward as we progress, with a limited awareness, like tunnel vision. Each step seems an eternity in itself, trapped on the bridge. Behind, our past, ahead our future, now, only this narrow moment with no options, no left or right, no going back. We ignore time itself as we pass over the bridge. The bridge is exciting for its promises, intense, and motivational.
Any day i see a rainbow i am in awe.It instantly connects me with my inner child setting off my imagination.A special symbol for me welcoming life and its mysterious beauty.I am thankful. (added by Mobile using Mippin)
In reply to the bit about the milkyway being a bridge..
About 2 months ago I had a drem where it showed me 3 spirals in space (looked like a spiral galaxy picture I have seen recently). 2 Little ones and one larger one. It was made aware to me that I was the milkyway and that they were time portals.
Very random I know. I have these strange dreams and whonder if there is a reason why. I do appreciate them though. They are the most interesting part of my life.
Also sido66. I have been seeing a very large star outside my house. It shows even when all other stars are not visable through the clouds. I also on one night saw the moon cradling it and wanted to take a pic but my camera wouldnt allow it. I thought this star might be Sirius but I dont know a lot about stars so anything you can tell me would be of interest.
Thank you x
Fireworks.When we can feel not just our own hearts.When we can see,what others see.When we pronaunce,what we think.When we are together-we don’t need bridges.If not-let’s start to build for a certain period untill we can “burn” them.
In China soll es angeblich ein Schriftzeichen geben, welches gleichzeitig “Chance” und “Krise” bedeutet.
Das Wort “Krise” ist es nicht fast allgegenwärtig?
Man könnte jetzt ein wenig seine Gedanken spielen lassen und eigendlich,
hm, eigentlich müssten auch Chancen allgegenwärtig sein.
Bei dem Gedanken an Polarität kommen mir ganz ähnliche Gedanken in den Sinn.
Eine Brücke, der Ausgangsgedanke, wenn alles “Eins” ist, brauche ich dann überhaupt eine Brücke?
Vielleicht eine gedankliche Brücke?
Eine gedankliche Brücke bei der wir uns symbolisch die Hände reichen und ein Band über dem Abgrund spannen?
Ein Abgrund welcher wir uns selbst erschaffen haben?

Jessica,
Thanks for that video “I am Alive”
It says in it
“The most difficult lesson to learn in life is Which bridge to use and which bridge to break off.”
‘Love will come together on a silver river on a bridge of magpies ‘…
