New Beginnings -The End I Start From

Picture I have not blogged much in the past three or four months because I have been preoccupied with other matters, primarily planning and organizing a move to England.  This move to England was inspired by the rather lackluster job market for teachers in Canada (though I enjoyed the job I did have immensely and will miss it terribly) and other factors with which I will not bore anyone now.  Long story short - we're leaving Canada to begin a new life in England.  

This move has me contemplating the very nature of beginnings and endings; I find myself pondering whether or not they can be considered separately or if they should be thought of as one thing with two distinct sides very much like a coin.  

T.S. Eliot ruminated over this issue and made the following observation: 

What we call the beginning is often the end.  And to make an end is to make a new beginning.  The end is where we start from.  

I have started from many ends in my life.  In fact, I have been averaging a new beginning every three or four years for the past fifteen years.  Now, I am leaving Canada, likely for good. 

Another new beginning.  Another end I start from.
