baby steps

Just got a guitar and am learning to play from scratch. Seems like it could be a way to journey while staying in the same spot. Seems like a vehicle - or a train track - or map upon which your fingers move. Feel like I could graph my life, my present moment, my current heart-state on the guitar if I only had the chops. But I'm just a beginner, picking up the guitar and plucking out a few sounds. It is relieving to take baby steps.
