In the end, everyone is our teacher, on one level or another. The child is our teacher, our friends, our family, the stranger on the street. Every thought that bubbles up in our minds can teach us things about ourselves, if we are able to listen. They can start almost invisibly or arrive with a big bang. Beginnings hold the promise of new lessons to be learned, new territory to be explored, and old lessons to be recalled practiced, and appreciated.
Beginnings hold ambiguity, promise, fear, and hope.
Don't let the lessons, the experiences of the past, dampen your enthusiams for beginnings. Don't let the heartbreaks of the past cause you to become cynical, close you off to life's magic and promise. Open yourself wide to all that the universe has to say. Let yourself begin anew. Pack your bags.
