The Narrow Bridge

Originally published on Substack.

The whole world is a very narrow bridge, and the main thing is not to be afraid.

Rebbe Nachman taught it. The Baal Shem Tov lived it: you are never walking alone. When the dark narrows around you, that is not the end of the road. It is where faith begins.
