Do not waste time bothering whether you “love” your neighbor; act as if you did. As soon as we do this we find one of the great secrets. When you are behaving as if you loved someone you will presently come to love him.

C.S. Lewis

Some adventures take us far from home. Some adventures lead us to our destiny. Join my family's incredible adventure to the Land of Fire and Ice.

Some adventures take us far from home. Some adventures lead us to our destiny. CS Lewis Near World’s End My wife Lois often jokes that life with me is an adventure. “A good one, I hope,” I often joke back. The truth is, I don’t like stagnancy. Perhaps it’s got something to do with being a writer. Or a polyglot. Whatever the reason, I get these inexplicable, out of the blue urges to do something…

No thoughts, just Anthony Lockwood in dialogue with this Narnia quote:

"For this is what it means to be a king: to be first in every desperate attack and last in every desperate retreat, and when there's hunger in the land (as must be now and then in bad years) to wear finer clothes and laugh louder over a scantier meal than any man in your land." -King Lune, The Horse and His Boy

I have no photograph of her that’s any good. I cannot even see her face distinctly in my imagination. Yet the odd face of some stranger seen in a crowd this morning may come before me in vivid perfection the moment I close my eyes tonight. No doubt, the explanation is simple enough. We have seen the faces of those we know best so variously, from so many angles, in so many lights, with so many expressions—waking, sleeping, laughing, crying, eating, talking, thinking—that all the impressions crowd into our memory together and cancel out into a mere blur. But her voice is still vivid. The remembered voice—that can turn me at any moment to a whimpering child.
