"New Beginnings Make New Endings
With lots of life between
It's what you put into your life
It is not these other things.
You will never know
What lies ahead
Choosing not to dream, instead.
New Beginnings Make New Endings
with much success ahead
If gently and tenderly
You choose to love it day by day
And be thankful (for) its graces
You will find it to guide you
You will never be afraid.
New Beginnings Make New Endings.
Like nothing you've ever seen.
Just looking at a sewing needle
It’s not the eye of the needle
That makes the impression on you
But amazingly it is the the thread
That makes its appeal to you"
Poem by: Cecelia Weir
Much like Khensani, I have very few words of my own. It's
been quite the day. The prominent thought though, is that of the end and that
of new beginning.
Sitting here, I'm overwhelmed by the idea of first year in
university being over, about moving out of the place that has been my home for ten
months and about saying goodbye to friends that have quickly become family.
But surprisingly, I'm drowning in excitement. Soon, it'll be
a new year. A second chance at everything. I've always thought of a new year as
God handing us a new book, a new pen and an eraser. The book is where memories,
lessons, fears and success will be written on by the pen filled with experience
and wisdom. The eraser, of course, is to right all our wrongs.
Have a lovely week, everyone!
