On Continuous Beginnings
original art by Sharon Lamhut Willen
|
One
Beginnings are cool places
Where no one is well-known
And nothing has gone wrong
yet.
Daring, scary places
We never get over
Until we grow fond of
Continuous beginnings.
Two
There is no personal history.
It’s always the first
inning.
Today is a new gift to
enjoy.
The challenges of yesterday
Have either evolved or
devolved.
No time is the same as this time.
Progress is a matter of
Continuous beginnings.
Three
Each day for as long as
We’ve been counting and
before
The same things have been
happening
To different people
In different places
Again and again and again.
Continuous beginnings.
