My walk along Emmons Avenue continued to the Ocean Avenue Footbridge — a rich blue wooden span connecting Sheepshead Bay’s Emmons Avenue to Manhattan Beach’s Shore Boulevard.

There, an older couple walking hand in hand, silently communicated their companionship and relationship, made the bridge more beautiful by their passage, and directed my observations to reflections on all those who have crossed the bridge during its 145-year lifetime.
