Bridges


Just as I published the blog entry below, I sat back in my chair and caught sight of the warming morning sun falling across the framed picture of Prague I have hung above my computer. An image I look at every day now has a new meaning. It is the perfect metaphor for my mind / body quandary.

There they are, the gorgeous bridges of Prague spanning the Vltava River, connecting the old city with the new. Strong and black and formidable, they stand in stark contrast to the delicate spires and golden cupolas that decorate the river’s banks. The bridges, once illuminated by my great grandfather’s lamps, form the whole.

Past and present inextricably linked. Mind and body connected. A unified whole. It’s all good.
