Geopoliticus, Child Watching the Birth of the New Man, completed in 1943 by Salvador Dali.

I am intrigued by this piece of artwork. It dramatically captures the essense of birth and rebirth - although I wonder if we are ever free of the sticky, rubbery, seemingly menacing substance that is quite possibly required to both push against and also to protect us?

The process of becoming - does the process ever end? "What a magnificent human being," I find myself saying, as I search out the well-established opening! Whatever is happening through this process, it is majestic.
