Perhaps this is an inauspicious way to start a blog. I really have a myriad of more important things to do; they are clamoring and demanding for my attention as I sit here and begin to write.
"The only joy in the world is to begin." Cesare Pavese said. I don't necessarily agree with him. There are many joys that come after harsh beginnings and difficult starts to sweat stained endeavors. I think the most joyous moment of any project is its end. Gazing on a white sheet of paper filled with perfect grammar and inspired words that twinkle for a brief second with completion, is heavenly rapture to me.
