Some are dinning in our ears that we are Americans, and moderns generally, are intellectual dwarfs compared with the ancients. ~ Henry David Thoreau
I was thinking about the paradox of beginning with respects to impartation. On one side of the coin; and with respects to the years we have developed and become who we are; we have so many beginnings ahead of us! It stands to reason that if there is a beginning and an end to everything, each one signifies the other. Here and now it is up to us to embrace both; beginnings and endings; with equal zeal and admiration.
Right now beginnings are happening… impartations trickle in between us as smooth as a mountain brook… and endings. Ending to how we once thought, felt or believed. However, mental health demands that “beginnings”; with the possibilities they bring; maintain the majority of our thought life.
As for “impartations”… this is actually a wonderful reality! This transfer happens in every spiritual, social and physical interaction… hopefully positive, yet sometimes negatively. We are imparting things into one another; ideas, inspirations, hope, peace, conquest and humor begin the list. But it is our design and should be our ambition to be imparters!!
