Five Minute Friday: Begin

Everything has one.  A place, a time that is considered the beginning.
Beginnings are
scary and beautiful
routine and abnormal
overwhelming and hopeful

you have to balance the fear of messing up with the awe of getting to start anew
the wonder of what's to come with the opportunity to have the chance
the doubts with the wings that have been given for you to fly

beginnings are a glorious thing
to begin
to start
to write
to love
to give grace
to forgive
to listen
to act
to take off

endings are just as important, they pave the way for something else to begin
smile, embrace it, have joy, get ready, and
BEGIN.
