Destiny's Choices - For Contest

Destiny’s Choices Do we choose our destiny or is fate a foregone conclusion, an ever growing snow ball an unstoppable collection of snow flake moments gaining momentum conspiring to bury us? Can we accept destiny’s fate without acquiescing to it? Rewrite upcoming scenes with actions taken, slalom at the edge of fates fury, deny destiny its choice. If asked to choose our destiny what would it be, how would it unfold, where would it take us, why would we make those destined choices? 4/17/2016 submitted to – Destiny or Choices – Poetry Contest sponsor – Nayda Ivette Negron

Fate is your destiny affected by uncontrollable outside influences. There are things we have no control over and just have to deal with the cards that are dealt for us:-) hugs Jan xx
