Beginning, in The ABC's of Consciousness, is the idea that a fresh start doesn't need a big occasion, just a morning where you get a vote in how the day goes.

Nobody remembers most of their mornings. But every kid has had at least one where they woke up and the light was doing something strange and beautiful through the curtains, and for a second, before the day had a shape yet, anything felt possible.

What does Beginning mean in The ABC's of Consciousness?

It's framed as an ordinary morning treated like a fresh start, not something that requires a big life event to count.

That feeling doesn't require a big occasion. It shows up on regular Tuesdays. A new beginning isn't always a New Year's resolution or a fresh notebook. Sometimes it's just waking up before the day has decided what it's going to be, and getting a vote in it.

The illustration here catches that exact moment: a child waking at dawn in a room suddenly full of monarch butterflies, a puppy close by, the ordinary room made briefly extraordinary by nothing more than morning light and attention.
