Beginnings Everyone has a beginning: a place where all things start; where words are formless; and the earth’s simplest elements blend together into a sea of colour. It is a cocoon; a pocket before time with roots that are thick and strong and thoughts that are vague, while emotions run clear and wild.  It is a time when stillness is not seen but felt. And, the act of silence has only one prerequisite: to be. Birth is a magical event: a soul newly unleashed; an act of breathing life into virginal lungs and of knowing little beyond the touch, taste, smell, emotion, and warmth of just one other body: mommy. It is a time when instincts still keep one alive, the potential of all humanity exists within us all, and the world is brand new. Everyone has a beginning. Mercifully, mine has had many.
