Start



This tiny detail of every facet of life. It’s always the opening kick-off of every game, or the the surge in pencil movement when the teacher gives the command. It’s like the prickly needles in the back of the baby eagle that push him out of the nest, for his fledgeling beginning. Yes, to start is the awakening of greatness in its most ordinary form. It is the essence of what dreams are made of: the courage to start . The action that many refuse to “simply” do, and the process that many don’t follow to the end. The hope of generations is the opportunity for new beginnings, the bubbling gift of a brand new day. A start is a sunrise or a sunset, one beginning the day, and the other the night. For every friendship, relationship, and pursuit, there is a place where they all meet in congruence, the start.

I like the idea that a sunset is also a start. Perhaps now you can expand on your ideas, work on putting each example in a separate paragraph, for example. This is a good "start!"

I agree about the the beginning sentence needed an extra desciption in relationship to the article. A little left in the dark at first. Still yet, short but sweet. Enjoyed reading, but would have liked to have seen it expanded on a little bit more. Keep writing! God bless ya, littlelight

I would really like to see you expand this and enter it into the critique circle - the need for discipline in the writing does not distract at all from the heart message in this. Follow your thoughts through and see where this piece will take you. God bless.
