It's a beautiful image as I envision Our Lord making his way into this world the way all humans do.

I was there when my son started making his way down the birth canal and then decide he liked it where he was. Trust me. It's not always a fun time.

I didn't mean to imply that all was fun. Just that, and maybe beautiful isn't the right word here, since Adam and Eve who came into being by the Will of God and contributed nothing to this creative act, His Creature's struggle begins in earnest the moment God decrees that his time to enter the world has come. And it's moving to imagine Our Lord's struggle too, beginning in earnest as he enters the human family.

And speaking of struggles, I've got to take a test in a couple of hours. I haven't had to take a real, bonafide test in years, I'd forgotten how butterflies feel.
