Body:	<i>Larry, I want to go back to yours: 'Do not despise these small beginnings, for the Lord rejoices to see the work begin.' (Zechariah 4:10) I'm guessing that this is one of the most profound little statements that have been written. It's not only a truism (everything starts small, with a first step). But it's also a great lesson in motivation and life - even efforts that seem impossible, may still be attainable, if you just begin. One thing is certain, you won't accomplish a thing unless you do take that step toward it. Beginnings are a breath of fresh air, something that replaces the current scene, a departure from the past. No doubt everyone here can tell a tale of how they at long last decided to get off their butts and try something new, or scary, or risky. Shed the confining past, leave that old self behind. That thing remained scary until the first step was taken, and when the world didn't fall apart, they took a second step, and the rest became our individual histories. Our sacred histories. And these sacred histories get passed on to our kids, given to the world, shared with later generations. Even the smallest thing. That action that we may believe to be so small and insignificant, may, when viewed through another lens, be in fact really big, really important to someone, somewhere. My wife's mom was still making new beginnings, starting anew, generating energy, life, love, at 90. Her world was expanding, not narrowing, as might be expected of a super senior. She had a larger circle of friends, co-conspirators, etc., than she had when younger. Almost as if accelerating through the finish line instead of coasting. Do not despise new beginnings, embrace them, seize them, become them. Great offering!</i> *
