Q: "What is today's wisdom?"

A: "Rebirth: Becoming Your Future."

"Bat...symbolizes the need for a ritualistic death of some way of life that no longer suits your new growth pattern. This can mean a time of letting go of old habits, and of assuming the position in life that prepares you for rebirth, on in some cases initiation...
