We are not born all at once, but by bits. The body first, and the spirit later; and the birth and growth of the spirit, in those who are attentive to their own inner life, are slow and exceedingly painful. Our mothers are racked with the pains of our physical birth; we ourselves suffer the longer pains of our spiritual growth. (Mary Antin)

Small world

My brother reported that he went to a wedding last weekend, in fact, the wedding of a couple that he had invited to my wedding reception, and they had the same crazy judge that we had at our wedding. I won't really believe it until I see pictures, but Rick assures me that it was the same judge. Not only that, he claims that the judge was even more crazy and rambling than he was at our ceremony. I doubt that. In other instances of this being a small world, I've run into at least three people at my new job that I've known in previous lives. I guess that's somewhat to be expected, being back in the area I grew up and all, but imagine my surprise when I'm walking down the hall and I see my aunt coming up the hall. And then I find out that she works there, right in my building. (Mom might have mentioned something!)
