Greetings, gentle readers and fellow travelers.
By invitation or simple chance, today we are met on this bridge of deciding.
Behind us lies the immutable past.
The diverging way, with its many endings, stretches out before us.
But beware, there’s a troll lurking beneath our bridge, whose name is: choice!
John Fowler served twenty years in the US Air Force before retiring and starting a second career in the IT field. He is also a Lay Pastor serving a small church near his home in Texas. His hobbies include reading, golfing, writing, and now oil painting.
Could this be an intro to an anthology of parables? i’m intrigued.
These are fantastic fifty words of wisdom!
Such kind-hearted wisdom–even the warning is gently presented!
This is so beautifully written and poignant. It’ll leave me thinking for days! Thank you.
I’m a big fan of short and succinct, but only when it reveals a new thought or more deeply explores an existing one. Well done, John!
I thoroughly enjoyed the short story for its captivating lines. It seems hard to capture things in just 50 words. My hats off to you.
Deep and beautiful thoughts; well done Paster.
Well done John!
Love your writing!
