Recently, I was on a trip out-of-town with one of my kids. Nearby there was a bridge that we decided to walk across to further explore the area.
We were nearly halfway across when he said “dad take some pictures!”
I was looking in the other direction, but I quickly turned around and noticed that the bridge was opening, while we were on it!
Neither my son, nor I, had ever been on a drawbridge when it was opening.
We could feel the hum of the motors and the vibrating cables as they strained to do their work.
My son smiled a broad “this is so cool” smile the whole time!
It was then that I realized, like my son, that this was very cool to see!
Then, it abruptly stopped.
Enabling a ship floating below time to cross.
then another…
When the last one passed, it closed as it had opened and people and cars soon continued on about their journeys.
We continued on our walk both now smiling at the mundane marvel that we had just saw while walking across a very cool bridge!
