Beginning of the beginning

This blog is new. This blog is just beginning. I would like it to be fully formed and complete, to pop online with its message clear and purposeful, crisp mission statement in hand. 

But, alas, it is not. It is a muddled, mostly broken changeling of a blog. Broken isn’t the right word, because something must be whole first before it can be broken. So it is… in the process of being born. And being born is a very difficult and tumultuous endeavor. And let’s not even get started on the difficulties of growing, which is a process we all must go about after being born. Life is so difficult, even before it has fully begun. It is a wonder we get started at all. 

So let’s just sit back and watch a little movie. And please do try to stick with me here, in the beginning. Because of course (as the NeverEnding Story tells us) “In the beginning, it is always dark.”
