Marsha’s Wednesday Quotes #11: A Bridge/To Bridge
I have confined myself to some of the bridges close to my place, by close I mean withing twenty kilometres.
“The crackling sounds of an old and tired bridge can best be understood by an old and tired person! Those who have carried the burden of life for so long are the ones who understand each other best!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan
The bridge over the Mann River at Cangi
“In the rainy season, sometimes to get to the first lesson we had to run really quick, because we had to cross the river to school and we’d have to go up and down the bank to find a place to cross because there is no bridge.”
― Haile Gebrselassie
The bridge across the Clarence River at Lilydale in flood ⬆️ in normal times ⬇️
“Theater is a space where you cross over from everyday life, because there are real people in that moment moving in front of you – you’re being invited to believe in a story and cross that bridge.”
― Cate Blanchett
The Mann River Bridge not far from my place ⬆️ and ⬇️
And one more for fun
“I was the kid who stared out the window. I fantasized myself on the deck of pirate ships – Cussler at the bridge.”
― Clive Cussler
A bit of a song from an Aussie group to finish

That’s good as I had to wade through long grasses keeping a lookout for snakes and spiders and all things that can kill you in Australia 😲

Most of the time you don’t hear before they get you. I guess there are a few but you have to be unlucky

This Blanchett quote is so deep, “Theater is a space where you cross over from everyday life, because there are real people in that moment moving in front of you – you’re being invited to believe in a story and cross that bridge.” She meant it metaphorically, I’m sure, but it is easy to imagine it in real life. Some of the bridges that we cross with or without fear, we do so while we watch others doing it. We trust that if it held them, it will hold us, too. Did you see Kirstin’s picture of the Astoria Bridge? Cee has posted some pictures of it too. I remember being scared to death to cross it in my teens and early twenties. Thanks for giving us the Mann tour!

Thanks Marsha, it is so true. I didn’t see Kirstins but remember Cee’s photo. I must have known that this was coming up when I decided to have a look around “my backyard” and take photos of the Mann River Bridge 🙂

Thank you Kirstin. I guess the river comes up a few times a decade. In the last two years the river has flooded a couple of times a year
