beginningless

beginningless
a) Incomplete for lack of a beginning.

But besides this imperfect beginningless story, entitled "William Montgomery," we find in the volume another, of which the title-page gives no hint.

b) Eternal; uncreated; having always existed.

Backwards, it spreads to the beginningless beginning. Forwards, it spreads to the endless end. We are always in the middle.
