Ending Is The Hardest Of All.

(Today I started on a book on a story based in Japan. It is called Fudoki which means your life story. It also means your soul, self and place.)

Beginning is easy - Continuing is hard.

- Japanese Proverb


Ending is the hardest of all.

The End Of A Turburlent Waterfall.

(Today, I visited the lovely Chamang Waterfall in Bentong, Pahang and was wowed by its ferocious beauty. I dedicate today's post to it. The visit to Chamang Waterfall will be described in a future post in Ghost Walk.)

“A strong man and a waterfall always channel their own path.”

- Author Unknown.


But when I stood before the waterfall today, I feel only its strength.

Many a calm river begins as a turbulent waterfall, yet none hurtles and foams all the way to the sea.

- Mikhail Lermontov


What does this say of our beginning? And what does this say of our end?

Great Is The Beginning. Greater Is The Ending.

I wanted a perfect ending. Now I've learned, the hard way, that some poems don't rhyme, and some stories don't have a clear beginning, middle, and end. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what's going to happen next. Delicious Ambiguity.

- Gilda Radner


We all still want good ending. But if we make the best of our life and it ends right now, that is a good ending.

Great is the art of beginning, but greater is the art of ending.

- Lazurus Long


With that, I will end this now.

It Is The Middle That Counts (Before You Are At The End)

“Beginnings are usually scary and endings are usually sad, but it’s the middle that counts. You have to remember this when you find yourself at the beginning.”

- Sandra Bullock


I was caught in the middle once and found it both scary and sad.

“Three Rules of Work: Out of clutter find simplicity; From discord find harmony; In the middle of difficulty lies opportunity.”

- Albert Einstein


Now if I can figure out where the middle is.

Let's Start At The Very Beginning.

“Every new beginning comes from some other beginning's end.”

- Seneca


How appropriate. We have just finished one century and beginning the next.

“The beginning is the most important part of the work.”

- Plato


Which is why Julie Andrews sings "let's start at the very beginning, a very good place to start."
