In Toronto is the Bloor Via Duct over the Don Valley Parkway. Like bridges in other parts of the world, it connects from one side to another- west with the east side of Toronto. Bridges help us in many ways in our lives. They can be symbolic in our dreams too. If we are facing a change, the bridge helps us to face the change by crossing over to the new life. In the middle of a bridge, we can see both sides, deciding to go forward or turn and go back. Or travel under it! There are so many famous bridges in the world- San Franscico, Vancouver, Montreal have significant bridges. Pictures abound of them. Do you have a favourite bridge that was significant in your life?
My favourite bridge was an old wooden structure over the Boyne River, near my former home outside Carman. It was a bridge for fishing from, for photographing from, and for viewing the woods and wildlife adjacent to it. I stood on that bridge so many times, the memory is quite vivid, even as I write this. It was condemned and closed to traffic a year or two before I moved to Winnipeg. I still stop there when I visit Carman, to pause and enjoy the view.
