beginnings and endings

where does one opportunity start and where does it end?
is it something we just define based on our calendars?
i like to think of it more like the Classic Crime in their album the Silver Chord.
They titled their first track "The End" and their last track "The Beginning."


Although this first year is already coming to an end (i say already because it has gone by faster than i could have ever imagined), i feel like this is but the beginning. Not just in school, my summer, or my walk with God, but in everything. This year has been quite the journey, but it was all prep work. My eyes have finally been opened. I have been given new life. So essentially, this is the beginning. Like when Korean's celebrate a baby's 100th day or "dol" the biggest party isn't essentially day 1. its a little bit after. once you've matured a little bit, gotten your bearings on where you are, who you are, and what you're up against. That was this year.

And now that i'm ready, bring on the world.
This is just the beginning.

"If a simple seed gets just what it needs,
then a redwood tree can grow
up to a hundred feet for the world to see,
and endure the sleet and the snow.

But if my whole life was wrapped and priced,
I wonder what the tag would show"
