Just a thought - Circle
of life
When a child is
born, there is much laughter and joy.
The first indication that a child
gives of its presence in the world
is through crying. The cutting of
the umbilical cord symbolises the
break with what has gone before, life
in the security of the mother’s
womb. Then the child learns to smile
at the love and attention shown it
by those around it. Indeed, it is
often said that it is a pity that
he or she can’t remain like
that in spirit. And then in advancing
years, time seems to speed up, and
we older people comment on how fast
Christmas or Summer has gone past.
There is a quickening process like
a spacecraft re-entering the Earth’s
atmosphere. We experience the tug
of eternity in the burden of years.
When finally the coffin is let down
into the grave, the attendant quickly
withdraws the straps by which it has
been lowered. It is the cutting of
the second umbilical cord and of release
back into infinite freedom. Go now,
return from where you came, the wheel
has turned full circle.
