Great Regulars: March feels like some kind of beginning to me.

Too soon for spring flowers, too soon to even think of spring, but the year has turned, and the mind turns with it. For a poet or a fiction writer, every day is a beginning. There's no map. It's all uncharted territory. And there have been other "prints" before us. We have to face our betters--that jealousy, or "professional fear" that we have to acknowledge as ours.
