You Are The Bridge (Sound Anchor)

The Haven (Private Podcast): (Protected Content)

This sound anchor was inspired by a Fireside Spiral, where we explored the felt pressure to force understanding and progress. The image of the bridge emerged as an embodiment of the firm back and soft front of gentleness. Holding and providing safe passage across otherwise hostile territory.

It reflects the theme of being before doing, and this quiet strength of gentleness. We may feel like our value depends on what we do and say. The urge to fight to clarify, explain, and shape how we are perceived and understood can drive us. But this is an impossible task. The bridge remains steady, as others have experienced. Perhaps even taken for granted. Yet it is in the right place at the right time, and for those who recognise it, their gratitude energises their spirit, enabling them to be a bridge, too.

Sound Anchors are short, bespoke reflections that comprise music I’ve composed and words that speak to a specific situation, topic, or experience. Sometimes they stem from themes that arise in coaching conversations and relate to personal challenges and desires. Others originate from topics we examine in the Journal Circle, group discussions, and books we read together.

Please get in touch if you found this helpful personally. I’d love to hear from you!
