How can we see what’s on the other side of a river too deep to be crossed over? And if our condition, our limits and capacities make our crossing difficult? We know that only a bridge can lead us to the other river bank! And where is that bridge? Who’s that bridge? Who can show us that path and take us to it? It’s by reading this book, by making this walk together, that I invite you to discover the path, through meditation and acceptance of this true challenge, that’s the way for us to walk and make the pilgrimage to what will take us to that bridge.
