Bridge Connection

In the Japanese screens Uji Bridge and Willows, a bridge painted in gold leaf visually links the pair of screens. The Smithsonian locates Uji southeast of Kyoto; Oralumia’s card is an original imagined scene.

A connection needs a way across that another person can choose to use. In this original reading, the bridge becomes a small invitation with a clear shape. Offer something specific and allow the other person their own time and answer.
A question to sit with
What small invitation could make it easier for someone to meet you halfway?
One small action
Take two minutes to draft an invitation with an activity and a time, such as a short walk this weekend. Sending it is your choice.
