Beginnings

When one door closes another opens is a common phrase that signifies endings and new beginnings on our journey of life.  As I researched songs that discuss this theme, I found one, Brand New Sun, that is termed "an ode to embracing a new chapter in life." Jason Lytle provides a breathy song that is uplifting and hopeful, as all new beginnings should be.

On the endless journey of life

endings bring closure

signifying: 

a fresh start

a new chapter
new beginnings

a journey of faith-filled forevers.

With a focused, positive frame of mind follow the path.

Meander through gardens and byways 

turning your gaze upward

listening for breathe's cues.

Then,

gently spread your wings.

With perseverance and patience,

fly to greater heights than you knew.

As each step leads you on,

read the road.

Still the chatter. 

Steady any restless steps.

Look for guideposts along the way.

Dive into refreshing pools waiting ahead.

Carefully stretch your limits. Find the challenge

that will shape your tomorrows and bring you rest.

Reach into the vast open spaces of possibilities. 

Your new journey awaits.
