Chapter One Introduction: Begin

Webster's dictionary defines begin as the following:

 Oh, but there is so much more to it than just words. Your heart is pumping. Your eyes are dancing. Your body is engaging. When you picked up your first camera, first brush, first pen- do you remember? Did you feel it?

The excitement of stepping somewhere new. Your head steps and your heart follows. Your senses come alive in the best ways. In that moment, your life has changed. You are awake, and although you are still; you feel a force, like gravity, pulling you towards this new thing. It has touched something in you that you never knew existed. You must go- learn the thing, experience the thing, do the thing.

It's frightening.

It's amazing.

It's inviting.

It's exciting.

It's... magic.

And it's here that you begin.
