Spanner

I am a bridge.

The next time you're stopped on a bridge, think about this. Feel it sway a little? That's normal. The engineers design the span to allow it to dissipate the stresses that build as vehicles cross it. If that flex wasn't there, disaster.

I allow myself to feel the stresses and strains of life. I allow them to enter in me, but I am not captured by them. I allow them to flow in me. I use them, take advantage of them, to build strength, to grow stronger. They serve a purpose, and I use that purpose.

I span great distances, at any moment.
