beginning

“There is no beginning too small.” This is a bookmark I’ve had sitting on my desk for over a decade now. It’s faded and warped and a cat has given it what looks like two little staple holes in the upper right hand corner – uniform and a quarter inch apart. I’m late for my departure to go up to my brother’s to help them all move into their borrowed house while he builds another one. The boy is airborne at this moment in his five thousand nine hundred mile journey to the Middle East. Big beginnings work too.
