beginning—

a powerful

hopeful,

miraculous

word.

it thrills the

soul and steals

breath away.

 

a moment of

brevity, yet

infinite

possibilities

in execution.

 

it starts with

a breath and

leads to an

entire world

of tender

prospects.

 

a fresh start,

a second

chance.

 

and the morning

dawns, and the

magpie sings,

and all creation

begins again.
