Love this...I have been feeling the pull for many years, but have JUST now learned how futile resistance is. Slowly committing to going with the flow and letting the chips fall where they may...wish me luck! Wonderful write for OpenLinkNight :)
i much like the image you create...not always happy though when life pulls me forward..always prefer to sit in the driver's seat...have to work on this...i know...
Well-done, Mary. I was thinking of this concept just yesterday. How each decision, moment, informs and directs each next decision, fork in Life's road. You captured this perfectly.
That strong sense of being pulled along by Fate is something I have not felt. Perhaps I am not looking closely enough. However, I do know how passions and desires have ruled so much of my day, so maybe that is what is meant by Fate. Your poem reminds me I should become more aware of this power in my life.
This is so true how each moment is a chain that is connected to the next moment. And if we had made a different choice during any of those moments then our chain would have gone in a whole other direction. It is so true about how we can never change our past and so we should always look to the future or the current moment in time. But then that current moment quickly becomes a part of our past. I guess we really only have that exact moment and need to use it wisely.
Happy Theme Thursday!! And thanks so much for sharing such a great moment with us.
So lovely and so concise. So much said in so few words. Some links are stronger than others. Some shiny. Others not so shiny. But every link is essential. Thanks for sharing your impressions of the prompt. I enjoyed this very much.

I always did believe that life is simply moments, linking together the days :) Nice.
I sometimes feel like the chains of life are dragging me down, tying me to my past. Interesting that you see them guiding us forward...

Life does insist, and steps (and the decision on which direction to place those steps) does indeed carry us to our destiny. Concise and informed!
Beautiful image! Simply stated. Very nice...thanks.

yes - every new journey is another link in the chains.. simple and powerful write
I agree - my life stopped being a struggle when I decided to stop fighting the inevitable.
Brief, but bril.
true that...and each decision we make decides the bonds of those links as well...pulling us along...
Very nice!
Simply creative. The power of the link in a chain. Superb.

But not too fast, I hope :-)
Great image to go with your words.Love the glow.
Moments linking past and future, leading us on...ohhhhh...love the words and the beautiful photo!
Simple. Powerful. Awesome.
I like that this is short yet says so much.
True words--and they're so hard to see sometimes.
such truth, i love a poem that distills life down to a brilliant sentiment.
True, short and wise !
I apologize for echoing the others, but... I loved the simple truth and creative brevity. Great write. :)

We get pulled or pushed by the momentum of life's wonders. How true, Mary!

This kind of sounds like some oriental philosophy...
I like it.
Short and powerful.
And I agree =)
Simple, Short, Powerful- TRUE
Clear, concise, well done!

And it is these chain of moments which make up our life...nice.
Hi Mary,
This is so true how each moment is a chain that is connected to the next moment. And if we had made a different choice during any of those moments then our chain would have gone in a whole other direction. It is so true about how we can never change our past and so we should always look to the future or the current moment in time. But then that current moment quickly becomes a part of our past. I guess we really only have that exact moment and need to use it wisely.
Happy Theme Thursday!! And thanks so much for sharing such a great moment with us.
God bless.
short, concise and so true...
But can we shape it?
So lovely and so concise. So much said in so few words. Some links are stronger than others. Some shiny. Others not so shiny. But every link is essential. Thanks for sharing your impressions of the prompt. I enjoyed this very much.
