Birth and Death
3 posts in one day!
I've been reading Orthodoxy by G. K. Chesterton lately and it just revealed the most amazing...revelation (to me anyway). In speaking of God as the Creator, Chesterton compares Him to any other creator (small "c") who, upon creating, becomes separate from his creation. By its very nature a poem becomes free of the poet once he has penned it and even a mother feels the absence of her child once it is born; birth and death at once. In this way God has granted freedom to his creations and we move away from Him. Imagine the sheer delight of God as he breaths life in Adam's nostrils and a moment later the utter anguish as his created loses his wind!

Did you mean loses his wind or breaks wind Chuck? Heh
Interesting. I think the agony is even more so considering the choice of seperation is ours, and we choose the path which hurts Him the most.
You need to read Barthes.
