Warren Rustin (EO Alchemy San Diego)

Money to buy groceries, end up at Alchemy and other EO events to talk about entrepreneurship first because you're my tribe, you're my clan, you're my friends. I love you because you and I experience the same thing in life. But there's another reason. Let me share this poem with you. Called the Bridge Builder an old man going a lone highway came an evening cold and gray, To a chasm vast and deep and wide. The old man crossed in the twilight din. The sullen stream had no fear for him, but he turned one safe on the other side and built a bridge to span the tide. Old man, said a fellow pilgrim near, you're wasting your strength with building here. Your journey will end with the ending day. You're never gonna again pass this way. You've crossed the chasm deep and wide. Why build this bridge at evening tide? The builder lifted his old gray head. Good friend, in the path I have come, he said, There followeth after me today a youth whose feet must pass this way. This chasm that's been naught to me, to the faired haired youth may a pitfall be he too must cross in the twilight den. Good friend, I'm building bridge. Thank you.
