Mending Things Not Broken

I started out on this journey without knowledge but full of needs. And the turmoil of my life, the dissatisfaction of my mind were all because I was trying to meet those needs with the wrong things, the wrong people, in the wrong places.

Then I met you. And I was saved from trying always to mend things that were not broken. My hand was held as we slowly discovered it better to walk in a straight line along life’s avenues until we reach the gate at the end, waiting to be opened, that we share a brighter life - - together.

~End~

Lovely idea and a nice use of the prompt pic! I love this :

Thank you so much! I found this picture really was a 'challenge' - and decided in the end I'd write about the 'gateway' rather than the walls and the passage and then it seemed right to open the gate . . .

I'm glad it worked. :)

I love drabbles. This one too. Short, sweet and gets it all done.

[rifleman-s.livejournal.com]

Thank you. :)

It's the only form of writing I can manage so it's nice to hear it works.

[ex-warmfuzzi813.livejournal.com]

Works quite well. And you are most welcome.

That's one of the best lines I've ever read. It grabs your attention and if you try to brush past, simply bends your mind round til it faces it and takes a good long look.

Thank you.

Thank you for such a stunning compliment.

I was trying to capture that endless search for "the one", so I'm glad you found that moving.

I love this, I love the journey idea. And that when you meet the right person, you find that things previously thought unreachable, you're suddenly getting to.

Beautiful, thank you so much for sharing!

[rifleman-s.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Thank you so much expressing what it meant to you, too.

I'm so glad it worked!
