In the face of many recent natural catastrophes - tsunamis, forest fires, earthquakes, floods and hurricanes - we are reminded of the fragile nature of life and how much we are at the mercy of natural forces. Yet, in our predominately secular/scientific worldview we may miss the metaphoric meanings or warnings that may be contained in such events.

"To have a self, to be a self is the greatest concession made to man; it is at the same time Eternity's demand upon him." - Soren Kierkegaard I loved this authentic quote enough to use it in my college one-act. Authentic, a favorite word and concept, is also my idea of success. A childhood memory and understanding offered that the world would work if we each were truly who we are.
