bridge over troubled water, the bridge to nowhere...

So sad and horrifying accident in Minnesota last week. Over hundreds wounded, 5 (or 6) dead, and with many still missing, over 1400 people gathered for the memorial service to mourn for this tragedy in Minneapolis today.

I am not sure if I could sing 'Bridge over troubled water' with the same feeling again. Also, the alarming information about so many bridges in the US are in serious need of repairs and/or reconstructions.

'Bridge to Nowhere' is a popular local hiking course in S.G.V. area. I met Seon and Linda at this very hike with Frank through Beyond the Base. It's already been...over 2 years since then. That hike led to anywhere but nowhere now that I think about it. I met few very nice folks on this hiking trip and the friendships are continued today. Bridges, regardless of the name, are built under the intention to connect one world to another. Unfortunately, the collapse in Minn. last week has connected the victims to an unintended destination, but hope that this incident would connect the rest of us to a safer place to travel each day and the government to urgently follow-up to prevent further risks and accidents in the future.

Lastly, I pray for those souls to rest in peace in the other realm, and the speedy recovery and new beginnings for those who are wounded, and the divers for their safety while they are under the murky water searching for those who are still missing.
