I've been reading some favorite passages I wrote down in a notebook years ago.
Lewis is one on my favorite authors - he's so thought-provoking that I can read a couple of his paragraphs and
chew on the words for the rest of the day.

C.S. LEWIS, THE FOUR LOVES: "To love at all is to be vulnerable. Love anything, and your heart will certainly be wrung and possibly be broken. If you want to make sure of keeping it intact, you must give your heart to no one, not even to an animal. Wrap your heart carefully 'round with hobbies and little luxuries; avoid all entanglements; lock it up safe in the casket or coffin of your selfishness. But in that casket -- safe, dark, motionless, airless -- it will change. It will not be broken; it will become unbreakable, impenetrable, irredeemable...The only place outside Heaven where you can be perfectly safe from all the dangers and pertubations of love is Hell...."

Yep...you have to let it all hang out, and give it all if you want to receive. A broken heart is better than one made of stone. ;)

I love the scene where the animals plant the crazy Uncle and start watering him......wondering if he's "the Neevil" that Aslan talked about........What's a Neevil?

Very funny........
