The End We Start From

By Guest Blogger & Poet Jessica Denyer

 

Everyone has a beginning, middle, and end to their story.

But who says the beginning is where we start from?

The end is many times the beginning of something

much greater than the end,

something more profound,

something more knowledgeable.

Sometimes we must get to the end of what seems like

a never ending eternity to reveal the new beginning.

Sometimes the middle is a nice place to start as well.

Sometimes the middle is more understanding

when it’s time to stop and think

than when it’s time

to pray for the end.

The beginning is tricky.

The beginning is what the middle and end need to thrive.

The beginning is what makes or breaks the middle and ends philosophies;

either they flourish or they perish.

But the middle is always a great place to soul search,

and the end is always a place to reflect.

But even when there is the beginning–

there is always the end to start from.
