Bridging a chasm may begin with a slender thread, fixed to an arrow and sent across. A slightly heavier cord is then attached to the end of the thread, and drawn back. The process repeats until the divide is bridged by something stout enough to hold a person, who may carry supplies for the completion of the project.
At each step the critical element is trust; trust in the materials, and in the skills and attentiveness of those working on each side of the chasm – but most of all, trust that the people on each side actually want a bridge built.
