Folk, Flocks, and Flowers

Musings, meditations, and meandering thoughts about people, animals, plants, and other things related to living in this beautiful and messed up world.

"Love all God's creation, the whole and every grain of sand in it. Love every leaf, every ray of God's light. Love the animals, love the plants, love everything. If you love everything, you will perceive the divine mystery in things. Once you perceive it, you will begin to comprehend it better every day." ~Dostoevski, Brothers Karamazov

C.S. Lewis weighs in

"Don't come talking to me about the consolations of religion," he wrote in A Grief Observed, "or I shall suspect that you don't understand."

(I just read this in an article on life after death and had to share it.)

Funny, I was thinking last time when you said you were glad I knew of Christians who didn't take the simplistic and glib line, 'well, there's you and CS Lewis for a start...'

Well, that is pretty funny! I am so thankful for Clive Staples. From fifth grade on, he's had a lot to do with how I see things.

(I read A Grief Observed, but I read it too young. I need to read it again, now that I have some life to go along with the reading.)

(Life and death, perhaps I ought to have put it.)
