Born Again… and Again… and Again

You’ve all heard the expression “born again.” “Born again” is one way that religious people describe this experience of transformation…On this issue of being born again, I come down on the side of ee cummings, who once wrote: “We can never be born enough.” We can never be born enough. The soul—the curious soul, at least, the alive soul—always longs to be made new. To be ever-more whole. To be reborn. Not because we were born wrong the first time, but because we grow and learn and change. And so my wish for us is that we be born again…and again…and again.
