"Take It To The Bridge"

Ok maestro, but these are troubled waters...

Hey! Thanks for showing up for the dive down the Sunday Rabbit Whole.

I wanna talk about "building bridges”.

Specifically, why I think this is a fallacy that prevents people from actually connecting.

“What?!” You say…

“Bridges are essential to connect separated bodies of land…over water, congested thoroughfares, train tracks…c’mon! Of COURSE we need bridges!!!”

Yeah, I hear you.

Except I think where there is a bridge, there is automatically 2 separated things requiring connection. By believing there needs to be a bridge between one group and another, the starting point is from disconnect.

“But…”, I hear you saying, “But ‘disconnect’ is real! They just don’t get it. So we have to find a way to ‘connect’, right?”

Maybe. Umm…no.

What if like the song from the Sound of Music we “start at the very beginning”…?
