LIFE IS BIRTH
T.S. Eliot wrote, “Old men ought to be explorers.” Like the young, the old can crawl off their maps, toddle or totter into uncharted territory. In fact, if one is to get old, one must enter uncharted territory and throw away old maps. How can an old person be born? How can an old person fail to be born? It’s either birth or death. Life is a lifetime of preparation for birth, a lifetime of childbirth classes, learning how to push and breathe and concentrate so that this child God has tendered to each of us can truly be born of Spirit. From “OLD BORN,” by Wm. Leety, The Presbyterian Outlook, March 5, 1990
