Building Bridges (4/15/06)

I have been hired as a contractor to build a bridge. The bridge will span between this world and the next. On this side, the world is dark, fearful, and dangerous. On the other, it is bright, loving, and peaceful. There are many people building this bridge with me. I am only one, and there are more on the way. We all have different talents, tools, and pieces of the bridge to build. It will take all of us expressing the full array of our talents to build the bridge in time. It will take all of our tools, as well. Though we bring different things to this project, we all have one thing in common. We are all under contract by God. He gave us this project out of His love for us, that we might live in a world that reflects that love. That we might live, period. We know that the bridge needs to be built now, in order to save us from the world on this side. We need somewhere else to go when this one crumbles under the darkness we’ve created on this leg of our journey. We must create this bridge and the world to which it leads in order to continue our journey. We stand at the edge of this world, seeing a world of harmony across the divide. We have only to span it to live in that world. And so, we must do the work. We have received our call and signed our contracts. We have mined the raw materials for the bridge from our hearts. We have obtained the tools to build the bridge from our minds and from our experiences. And now, we are in diligent production, focusing clearly on our goal. We work so that we can take as many of our brothers and sisters across before it is too late. As we build the bridge with our hearts, using the tools of our minds, we build the beginnings of the world on the other side. After all, the bridge must lead us somewhere better. Somewhere functional, adaptable, sustainable. Somewhere different from here. Somewhere where our beliefs and behaviors support Life. Life, which is naturally functional, adaptable, and sustainable, does not need us. We need it. Come. Join in. There is nothing more important or more wonderful you could be doing right now.
