With untied shoelaces,
we begin to walk.

With broken wings,
we begin to fly.

Without knowing the right words,
we begin to write.

Without knowing exactly what to say,
we begin to use our voice.

With our very best,
we begin to push forward.

With practice and awareness,
we begin believing in ourselves more.

With patience and resilience,
we begin to allow ourselves more grace.

Without making the first step,
how will you begin?

With fear, living life ends
—before it has a chance to begin.
