Grade school grammar rules went out in the 1960's you know. And if you read Hemmingway, you'll see he often started sentences with conjuctions. To keep a kind of natural and easy conversational flow of reading. But as with anything, you have to have already mastered the rules to know how to bend them.

Therefore the sage

learns to swim before she surfs,

learns to ride a bike before she heads for the highway,

learns to talk with her neighbors before addressing the gods,

learns to use grammar before style, style before freedom, freedom before power.

Therefore ten thousand hollows sing her words,

ten thousand peaks shake off their caps of snow to bow to her,

ten thousand stars celebrate her speech with eternal fireworks in the sky.
