Thank you Sue for a most inspiring writing challenge for this past week! 🙂
Facelift or healing
Disguising the deepest wounds
New replaces old
Time’s inexorable march
Writes inescapable tales

The photo for this week’s prompt was taken in Bakewell, Derbyshire, a few years ago. The worn steps are typical of many older homes and are a poignant reminder of how many feet have passed that way and how many stories the old stones have witnessed. I was particularly struck by the incongruity of the two new steps that have replaced the originals, their surfaces as yet unmarked by time and experience.

Thank you to everyone who took part, visited or reblogged the posts or left comments for their authors. A new prompt will be published later today. As always, I will reblog as many contributions as space and time allows as they come in… and all of them will be featured in the round-up next Thursday.
All the posts are listed…

The imperfections created by time always fascinate me as well. I guess it’s part of accepting our mortal humanness.
