  • A Second Birthday
    William Stringfellow

It must be acknowledged, confronted, suffered, and survived on its own terms, as it were, as the very aggression of death against life. What must be faced and felt, in the uttermost of a person’s being, is that assault of the power of death feigning to be sovereign over life--over the particular life of...
