-And other
hazards
Down through history, nearly
every culture has included certain
rites of passage.
Many had a relationship to the
maturing person, in the form of
physical or mental endurance
“tests” to show readiness for adult
hood and the accompanying
responsibilities -- and privileges.
In some tribal civilizations,
young men had to prove their
mettle in survival, going off alone,
to meditate, to find an inner
strength, to prove their courage
and capabilities. With this day of
equality, our modem “rites” apply
pretty much across the board. But

they still call forth courage, deter
mination and a chance to prove
emerging abilities.
And it still holds true that behind
nearly every youth dueling with a
rite of passage lies a mother with
crossed fingers, hope and maybe
more than a little bit of uneasiness.
So it was when they took their
first steps. Spent their first night
away from home. Got on the big

Went on a first big date.
Most times, a good part of the
parental apprehension lay in the
fact that we couldn’t go with ’em.

About once a minute, a voice,
seemingly from nowhere, would
burst into the room, booming,
“Next!” Some applicants sprang
from their chairs, trigger-ready as
their turn came up, to charge into
battle with this challenge. Others
almost dragged away from their
chairs, with a nervous grin or
glance at accompanying parent or
friend. All eventually departed to

Though brief in reality, parental

makes minutes seem like forever.
