Second beginn...Beginnings are meant to be awkward.<br /><br />Second beginnings are different than second helpings.<br /><br />The true measure of our beginnings, and our endings, is not marked in increments of attitude, what we bring or leave behind; beginnings don't occur without decision, without a choice.<br /><br />I believe that the true measure of our beginnings is the depth, the brightness or dullness of our spirit, our nourishing self, a reflection our innate character. Who we are, who we intend to be, is what we bring.<br /><br />The rest is drag.<br /><br />Second beginnings can be tainted by the past. That is difficult in some cases, and obviously awesome elsewhere, but the real point here is that second beginnings give us a chance to do what first beginnings can't quite. First beginnings give us the chance to bounce out reflection against the unknown. Second beginnings give us the rare opportunity to check the reflection of our source, that is, our true character, against the known.<br /><br />The latter is a difficult and ultimately invaluable practice in humility.<br /><br />Good luck with your second beginning.
