kinder crosses over – under watchful hands.
—
“the ancients knew that you needed guidance, patronage, and protection
as you move from one place or state to another, whenever you cross a bridge.
you had better know what you are doing when you leave one group or place to join another.”
-richard rohr
I didn't have my glasses on.... 
The only way to explore is to cross the bridge when we come to it! Great post, Beth!

I’m intrigued by the bridge. No support beams visible unless they’re in the shadows.

I love this! Do the kindergartners ceremoniously cross the bridge at the end of the school year?
