Beginnings

Beginnings can be exciting, scary, unexpected, craved. They can stir something new in your heart, your mind, and your everyday life. Some beginnings, no matter how small, can change your world so much.

With the crinkle of so-tiny baby toes, skin dry and wrinkly. With feet so small; so many steps ahead to be taken. Where will those little feet go...

With little fingers so ready to touch and feel. And perfect ears ready to hear and listen. With eyes not quite open to what lies ahead.

With cries that let you know they need you.

With sleep to let you know they're doing just fine.

Beginnings like that of a newborn beg to be savored, remembered. Tiny, precious, fleeting moments that find solace in the next beginning.
