The number one box office success at movie theaters across the country for the last several weeks was 'The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn Part 1.' For those who do not know, it is the first part of Stephenie Meyers’ fourth novel in her 'The Twilight Saga,' a story about the marriage of Bella Swan, a young human woman, to Edward Cullen, a vampire. Edward, though appearing to be just 17 when he and Bella met, is actually a vampire-man over 100 years old.
Amidst the current crises of our world – economic catastrophe with little hope that there will be a light at the end of the tunnel, politics-as-usual with an extra measure of bitter, uncompromising anger, the bursting-bubbles of our excesses one after another – I’m wondering how to remain centered, at peace, standing in Light and to be growing into what is a human potential of beauty.
When does life, a particular life, and life in general really begin? Thirty-five years ago when my son was born I wondered – with wonderment – about the mystery of birth and of life.
My experience was that the idea of a beginning to life appeared somewhat ludicrous. Everything, it seemed to me, was a part of a beautiful process whose beginning would be impossible to determine.
