Cycle of Life

The Cycle of Life is an effort at analyzing the thoughts and actions that make up the personhood of the individual as she or he lives out the interval of time from the womb to the tomb - the tomb being symbolic of the various forms of exit from the scene of life. The author's reflections of life's cycle affirm that existence can have meaning for individuals from the moment they become uniquely identifiable through the names they are given at birth. What our names mean for us continues to be shaped by upbringing and by our own thoughts - to which we give expression in various ways. These reflections on the cycle of life present life as a unified whole.
