Each week, Susan at Stony River posts a photo she's chosen, then invites us to weave a tale around this photo using 140 characters or fewer.

My entry for today comes in at exactly 140 characters...

Moving forward, we look back -
to meet the road ahead,
we ponder whence we came.

On the path of our lives,
none walk alone -
other steps brought us here,
so too they lead us on

You have expressed eloquently that life at this moment has evolved yet is linked to all that has gone before. This interconnectedness follows and influences us as we venture away from the past into the future. Your prose reveals an interesting truth, Lynette! Thanks for sharing. :)
I like your poetic prose. It is interesting to look at old photos of ancestors and wonder what they were like and what traits of theirs I might have.
Ooh, this is good:-) Well done!
"Moving forward, we look back -

In this microfictiony look-at at looking back (Yours is a fun take indeed!), I am reminded of words that get waysided.--> Like "whence"! What a cool word "whence" is! "Whence," "whence," "whence"! It feels nice to say, too (--sort of very importanty. You know what I mean?) which is what I will do every opportunity I get, today, as I declare "whence" to be March 8th's WorD of the DaY!
Happy Fat Tuesday!
I love this; You did a wonderful job weaving the past with the present! I love vintage photos...
Great Job~
Nice one, Lynette. I second Sparkle's adulation for "whence."
Thanks for stopping by my blog also,
Michael
Oh this is wonderful, Lynette. How true, and cool to reflect upon. I love this!
