and again and again

I find that I'm still pondering the necessity of beginning again.

and again.

and again.

and again.

Sigh.

This has been a week of reflection on all the areas that need revival, or new beginnings.

The hard work of creating those beginnings?

I'd rather avoid it.

But the reflection and recognition slowly brings with it conviction.

Compulsion, really.

and so I am readying myself for changes yet again.

for self discipline and even denial of self.

because beginning again

and again

and again

is a necessity to life

almost like breathing.

Whimsical Wednesday, June 27, 2012

For something completely different, this week for Whimsical Wednesday I have a video.  I came across this video yesterday and was fascinated by the hours and design that went into this creation.  And, honestly, something in me still feels that childlike joy that always came from setting dominoes up and then knocking them down.  So, seeing them fall into the design of one of my favorite pieces of art is just that much more fun.  I hope you enjoy!  (And I'd love to hear your thoughts in the comments!)
