From Faces in the cloud


Without action, without the capacity to start something new and thus articulate the new beginning that comes into the world with the birth of each human being, the life of man, spent between birth and death, would inevitably be doomed beyond salvation. The life span itself would be running toward death, inevitably carrying everything human to ruin and destruction. Action, with all its uncertainties, is like an ever-present reminder that men, though they must die, are not born in order to die but in order to begin something new. “Initium ut esset homo creatus est” -- “that there be a beginning man was created,” said Augustine. With the creation of man, the principle of beginning came into the world -- which, of course is only another way of saying that with the creation of man, the principle of freedom appeared on earth. ~ Page 307
