We Are the Bridge

The Junctionist does not say “we must build a bridge.”

He says: we are the bridge.

Look closely.

Between every inhale and exhale runs a living current.

Between your bare foot and the soil, a silent conversation.

Between the seed you plant and the hunger you will feel next winter, an unbreakable promise.

That is the junction.

And you—flesh, breath, attention—are the place where the two sides meet and become one thing again.

The Earth has one half of every story.

You carry the other half in your body.

When you forget this, the world feels broken:

people against planet,

spirit against matter,

doing against being.

When you remember, the fracture heals in the only place it ever can—inside a human life that is willing to stand in the middle and hold both ends.

You do not need to become more spiritual.

You do not need to become more “practical.”

You only need to stop stepping off the junction.

Stand there long enough—barefoot at dawn, knife paused above the onion, pocket stone warm in your hand—and the current starts moving through you again.

That current is joy.

That current is meaning.

That current is the oldest harmony there is.

We are not separate from the Earth, begging for connection.

We are the living membrane where Earth touches herself and remembers she is whole.

We are the bridge.

And the bridge, when it stops running away from its own center, discovers it was never a bridge at all.

It was the meeting.

It was the song.

It was home all along.
