Endings

There is something about endings that my spirit seems to loathe.  I often skip out on ending activities, or ceremonies.  For example, the final climbs on my Outward Bound expeditions I skipped, all of my graduation ceremonies from highschool, college and grad school were foregone.  And it seems I tend to fizzle out, or just sabotage the ending of things.

I would like to change that.  What is it really about anyway?

There is a lot of importance put on endings.  Ceremony, praise, you name it. But what is it really all about?  

From the spiritual perspective I think it is about gathering the energy from the work well done and anchoring what has been accomplished so far.  Taking a long jump, putting all my effort into the jump, and before moving forward again looking at how far I went.  

I need to take a moment at the end, to look at what was learned.
