"New writers often find beginnings difficult...because they take the word 'beginning' too literally... Your story... must begin in medias res, in the middle of things." - Bernays and Painter, I.1
And that's the story of our lives--our beginnings sit inside the unfinished, half-told stories of others.
In medias res.
and that's the way it traces back
poetry,
literature,
food for thought
