Take it to the bridge

   Sometimes a certain circumstance can be unattainable. Maybe for a while, it can be out of reach for a host of different reasons. You ever want to reach out and experience something but not have the means in which to do so?

                  In that case take it to the bridge.

    Placing yourself on the bridge allows two different worlds to come together just for a while.  It’s where the magic happens and much can be revealed. Like spending the 4th of July reclining comfortably on the Colorado street bridge in Pasadena, now that’s an interesting experience.

    They came from all walks of life, young and old. Families and singles, some brought along their pets and what a delight to watch the toddlers play and run around at this festive event.

   Off in the distance fireworks could be seen very well from the Rose Bowl, and suddenly the bridge transformed as being a room filled with a single family of people with their ooos and ahhhs. A warm and colorful event indeed.

       Keeping it simple was what kept it all so real.

      And there just for a little while not only did two worlds come together but also the many other individualized worlds that intermixed and exchanged energies right there in the midst of what may have appeared to be separated   and yet all came together as being one.
