Just Begin …

Just begin …

In the poem, Ruby-throated Hummingbirds by Alex Dawson there is a line that reads:

they do not wonder if they can, they just begin

We humans, of course, complicate matters with our needs and wants, fears and expectations, uncertainty and doubts.

Today, as I stared at the blank page that marked a new creative project, I channeled the ruby-throated hummingbird. I didn’t wonder if I could. I just began.

I finished, too.

I’m curious, what might you begin if you were a hummingbird?
