New Beginnings

Just thought--

Every day, something is different. Every day: something is new.

A hair has fallen out, and you're different. You receive news, and you're changed. A memory surfaces, and you're altered. You try something you never have before, and you're transformed.

You pray, and you're lighter.

Nothing is static-- the light is constantly shifting, the molecules in our world are constantly rearranging. NOTHING is stuck-- nothing is impervious, or impenetrable, or permanent. We are floating on an insistent current of change and newness, and fight it we might, but it will pull us along. We are something that has never yet existed before, born every minute.

As I prepare to go back to school this September, I find myself thinking, "A new year-- a new beginning."

And yet, I am brand new in this moment. Already, I am beginning. I can cross the threshold into all the resolutions yet fulfilled, and dream of realizing them in this next second.

Begin--

In Which We Start Again

Halloooo blogging world.

I'm back. Did you miss me?

Due to a series of unfortunate events, it was necessary to excuse myself from your company for a time. However, I think I'm ready to tip-toe back in-- but if I do this right, it will be a tip toe. As in, a sneaky arrival that will leave no one the wiser for my re-entry. Except for those whom I choose to inform... Or the innocent passer-by who harbors no ill will against my person.

As for those with such suspect intentions... I hope to remain elusive. No profile this time-- no picture, no surname to confirm identification. I am a slippery figment.

Got it?

Good.

Then we can proceed.
