C.S. Lewis on a rainy day...

Nothing I love more than a philisophical read with a glass of wine to combat a rainy day where my mind typically goes to gray. "Awareness that our whole being by it's very nature is one vast need; incomplete, preparatory, empty yet cluttered, crying out for Him who can untie things that are now knotted together and tie up things that are still dangling loose." ~C.S. Lewis Isn't that the truth about life's journey ? It's another way of coming at the saying, "Life is always greener..." When we are tied down, we want to be free. When we are hungry to learn, we want to be full of knowledge. When we are too comfortable, we seek out danger. When we experience change, we crave stability. As humans, we never fail to be at a constant state of unrest. François de la Rochefoucauld said, "The only thing in life constant is change." When will be able to breathe into this and know the change does not threaten our core being ? "The highest does not stand without the lowest. A plant must have roots below as well as sunlight above and roots must be grubby..." C.S Lewis At age 28, my life this year keeps teaching me lesson after lesson after lesson. It seems that until I fully give myself over to what the universe has in store, this constant pattern of change will keep shaking up what I think I know and transform it into something deeper, richer, and true. So, have patience, friends. We're all there :) Until then, I am going back to reading "The Four Loves"... I suggest picking up a copy.
