In this collaboration I teamed up with Jean from Social Bridge. She has a great love of bridges so I submitted a photograph of one of my favourite bridges in Scotland, to be found at Rest and Be Thankful on the Loch Lomond / Inverary Road. To this image, Jean’s pen scrolled across the page with wise words indeed. To those that follow Social Bridge this will come as no surprise.
Rest and be Thankful
There are moments when we need to step out of the humdrum and noisiness of that thing called ‘everyday life’ and simply Rest and be Thankful.
In the stillness, we can feel the presence of those who touch, and have touched, our hearts with hands of inspiration and light when even the smallest hillocks loomed as treacherous mountains. Have we taken the time to thank those who have made our lives navigable; those who have built solid bridges and walked with us through pain and darkness?
Pure rest brings new perspectives on the flow of life; it cleanses and soothes the aching pains of angst, grief and despair. Our eyes are opened to what is most important to every single human being: hope and love; love and hope …..
So if you haven’t checked out Social Bridge, please do so – you will be thanking Jean and myself for it!
What lovely words to go with your photo.

A wonderful bridge, I wish it was here (or still there, when I get there) and yet a great collaboration!

I am sure it will still be there, it is no longer used other than by walkers and wildlife. MM 🍀

I love the way the snow-sprinkled mountain repeats the curve of the bridge. And, yes, thank you for the gratitude and rest reminder – well received.

Interesting and thoughtful collaboration. I know this stretch of unused road very well and have walked the upper reaches because of its recent history – not much stillness in this but lovely footage of magnificent men in their machines – http://ssa.nls.uk/film/2120
It is where a young Jackie Stewart cut his teeth.
