How Can We Build Strong Bridges?
Over the summer, I learned a bit about the engineering challenges of building good, durable bridges. With gravity pulling bridges down and compromising their integrity, a well-designed bridge must balance inward compression with outward tension.

As we build metaphorical bridges across differences, we also need to create balance, share the load of telling our own stories and listening to others’ stories, and remain flexible in our outlook and mindset about our opinions.
