My daughter-in-law sent me this story by Hungarian writer tmutat a Lleknek:

In a mothers womb were two babies. One asked the other: Do you believe in life after delivery?

The other replied, Why, of course. There has to be something after delivery. Maybe we are here to

prepare ourselves for what we will be later.

Nonsense, said the first. There is no life after delivery. What kind of life would that be?

The second said, I dont know, but there will be more light than here. Maybe we will walk with our

legs and eat from our mouths. Maybe we will have other senses that we cant understand now.

The first replied, That is absurd. Walking is impossible. And eating with our mouths? Ridiculous! The

umbilical cord supplies nutrition and everything we need. But the umbilical cord is so short. Life after

delivery is to be logically excluded.

The second insisted, Well I think there is something, and maybe its different than it is here. Maybewe wont need this physical cord anymore.

The first replied, Nonsense. And moreover, if there is life, then why has no one has ever come backfrom there? Delivery is the end of life, and in the after-delivery there is nothing but darkness and

silence and oblivion. It takes us nowhere.

Well, I dont know, said the second, but certainly we will meet Mother and she will take care of us.

The first replied, Mother? You actually believe in Mother? Thats laughable. If Mother exists thenwhere is She now?

The second said, She is all around us. We are surrounded by her. We are of Her. It is in Her that welive. Without Her this world would not and could not exist.

Said the first: Well I dont see Her, so it is only logical that She doesnt exist.

To which the second replied, Sometimes, when youre in silence and you focus and you really listen,

you can perceive Her presence, and you can hear Her loving voice, calling down from above. Untilevery church disciples every man
