Linking with Imaginary Gardens for "Flash Fiction 55"
The Future is something which everyone reaches at the rate of sixty minutes an hour, whatever he does, whoever he is. ~C.S. Lewis
55 words below:
Here I am fifty one
not everyone in my family
makes it that far
I guess you could say
I am winning a race
I did not know I was running
trying to get to the finish line
I just want to make it there
without getting there
even faster than
the speed of light.
Take your time and enjoy the journey ~ We all get there faster than speed of light ~ Happy weekend ~
ReplyDeleteWith days whizzing by, it is sometimes hard to take things slow!
ReplyDeleteTime seems to accelerate the more we wish it would slow down--but it's only the moment we are in that we can know. Great 55.
ReplyDeleteSlow down, take your time, no hurry ... I like this Carrie!
ReplyDelete60 minutes every hour - we are all allotted the same per hour. What amazes me is how some use it much more wisely than others. Yes, NO hurry :)
ReplyDeleteAnd isn't that how we roll these days it seems...to me. Nicely captured, Carrie!
ReplyDeleteYes, we often come to realize we are in a race and don't remember setting out to be in one! I'm glad you joined us for 55, and I love the cool stuff on your side bar and background!
ReplyDeleteThat race we all know.. Sometimes I know it's a race I wish I could take even slower...
ReplyDeleteShort races are all right, but keeping them going forever can really ruin our journey... perhaps the destination, too.
ReplyDeleteDon't rush there too quickly. I often have to remind myself. I will never be as young as I am right this minute. Smiles.
ReplyDeletehaha well done! Yup! Take your time :-)

Please enjoy the journey.
