Bridges are exceptionally patient and genial. We have grown accustomed to believe
that the only real an worth paying attention to things are those we can see before us. The things we cannot see, do not exist. Or, to put it metaphorically: our plans are those things before us. Thus, seeing does not exclusively mean looking at someone/something but also: having a vision of a tomorrow. All that is before me, seems real, the things behind - seem completed, closed, past, nothing worth mentioning. Whereas, bridges continue to exist even when forgotten. Unless we burn them down on purpose - they still exist. A bridge to an old friend continues to exist even though we have not thought about this friend for twenty years. All you need to see the bridge is to look back.
Timothy Snyder, August 2013
