a commencement

I was never all that comfortable with that word. Commencement. Always felt it as a goodbye word. Hello goodbye hello goodbye. Don't know why you say...Anyway, it is what it is.

This is a beginning of sorts. I suppose. I started learning code several times, with varied but all limited results. Always seemed a foreign language. Which it is. But if I wanted to learn another language it would something that I could actually use in real life, like Icelandic. Or Finnish. Or Norwegian. You know. So those attempts always were stranded or abandoned or cursed fairly quickly. But my latest attempt feels different for some reason. I'd like to write about it from now on. It's still early on in my voyage so there's not a ton in the rear view but quite a lot on the horizon. Some of it is work. Some is simplistic. Some is almost fun. It's the crossing I"m experiencing. The journey. The goal. It's out there. Not too distant either.
