Yesterday’s vocabulary cannot carry tomorrow’s dreams—new beginnings require a new voice, a new courage, and a willingness to step forward.

And to make an end is to make a beginning.”
― T.S. Eliot
Reflection
T.S. Eliot reminds us that life is a continual cycle of release and renewal. We often cling to yesterday—its victories, its wounds, its familiar language—because it feels safe. Yet every new chapter asks for a different voice, a braver vocabulary, a willingness to step into the unknown. Endings, though painful, are sacred invitations. They carve space within us for growth, wisdom, and new possibility. We are not meant to remain who we were—we are meant to evolve, stretch, and speak a language we have not yet learned. Each ending is not loss—it is the doorway to who we are becoming.
