Starting somewhere


Here it is.  My first blog entry.  I know there will be a day in the future when I’ve become comfortable with writing entries – when I’ve become witty and wise and easy with it.  I know someday I will look back on this entry with discomfort, knowing then that I could have done this better than I’m doing it now.  

But I can’t skip forward to that easy sense of writing that will only come with experience.  And I won’t get there unless I begin now.  So here it is.  I have to start somewhere.

This is one of the spiritual lessons in life.  When I begin anything, I can sense that things could be, should be, will be better.  But I have to start somewhere and accept the inevitable flaws and mistakes that will occur along the way.  It's a leap of faith and an act of trust in what will unfold from here.  It also requires trust in my future self that I won't be too hard on this when I look back.  I think if we could all trust our future self to be easy on us, then we might make a few more leaps of faith!

So here it is.  The first blog entry.  I hope you will read and enjoy for months and years to come!
