Endings & Beginnings

Close-up of a person walking on a sunlit forest path, wearing hiking shoes and blue pants.

Our lives are shaped by a series of stories, each with its own narrative arc. We leave home and welcome people to our home; we enter our reproductive years and leave them; we end one piece of our life’s work and begin another. Endings and beginnings are bittersweet—we celebrate each with the awareness of the other.
