Description
New Beginnings
Nature abhors a vacuum
One thing ends
Another takes its place
No need for concern
Beginning something new
Is rarely like
Jumping off a cliff
Did you know that
Fear
Is the same
Physiologically speaking
As excitement?
In that shaking moment
You can choose
Which you prefer
Unless you are still
Learning to talk
Tie your shoes
Tell time
You have already done
Countless new things
Successfully
Our lives are filled
With new beginnings
Making it up
As we go along

January's Writer's Gallery Challenge was New Beginnings. I was a bit too busy with our own new beginning to write about it, but the topic stuck with me. (Thanks, Jeff!)

A very reassuring piece of work! I am not very good at them.
So beautiful and wise words, my friend :-)
Nice reading.
Wonderful writing Tara. God bless.
Beautifully written and so true. Finding the line between fear and excitement. Always a challenge. But the shoes, yea, still working on that. My shoes are forever in a state of disarray.
Great words and true as well. Excellent commentary
wonderful writing
This is wonderful, Tara! I'm involved in lots of new beginnings at the moment - and loving it! :-D
impressive and wonderful poetry to a delightful design! ;o)
I love you words, if we can take really always time to start over, or a next attempt, until we are satisfied and able to oversee our growth in making small steps, which will always make 1 large (of a new beginning). :) Have a nice new weekend, dear one ;-)
yes, we all need them, new begining, change of habitued - and we do not like it just at this moment... you are so very talented in this Tara!
You depicted wonderfully the challenge of the ''NEW'' and how emotions can be just separated by an almost unseen line. You wrote deep thoughts in simple words ! Your poetry it is a lesson about incentive, yet, you gave a 'way out'--- the choice of to tie a shoe, easy or not, will be always a challenge, but if you don't do it...you never will know 'how' !! Thank you, Tara! Perfect Light and colours and the lines that intersect, are significant too.
this isn't a comment yet, but I just wanted to tell you that I'll do your most recent writing soon, Tara. I just haven't done writing this time around (except for one artist, who I hadn't commented on since August). I'll be back for this and a few of your other writings soon. Just wanted to say that, because I've read all your writing and been taken-in by it all, along with your music and, of course, thoughts...I just need to get away from visuals first to do it. So this comment---like Tibetan mandalas---will be destroyed! And replaced by a 'real' comment soon... (If you don't know Tibetan mandalas, they spend hours making these intricate madalas the size of a huge table, made from the most beautiful colored sands and pebbles; and then---upon completion---they take big brushes and whoosh the thing into the air, to symbolize the impermanence of everything...and then they start all over again. That puts my comment in a high light, doesn't it? When basically I'm just saying I'll be back soon? But I'll replace this comment soon...)
