"It is a world of magic and mystery, of deep darkness and flickering starlight. It is a world where terrible things happen and wonderful things too. It is a world where goodness is pitted against evil, love against hate, order against chaos, in a great struggle where often it is hard to be sure who belongs to which side because appearances are endlessly deceptive. Yet for all its confusion and wildness, it is a world where the battle goes ultimately to the good, who live happily ever after, and where in the long run everybody, good and evil alike, becomes known by his true name...That is the fairy tale of the Gospel with, of course, one crucial difference from all other fairy tales, which is that the claim made for it is that it is true, that it not only happened once upon a time but has kept on happening ever since and is happening still." - Frederick Buechner Telling the Truth: The Gospel as Tragedy, Comedy and Fairy Tale
I decided to read through The Sacred Romance again. Sarah recommended it last night and I forgot that I brought it with, so I'm reading it again. It's quite delightful. It may contradict what I learned from Robert a couple weeks ago. Man that guy has haunted me. But the book is magically written. Just reading the first couple chapters begins to stir up excitement for life. Good.
Found a pic in the book. Took me back a couple years. So did listening to Spin by Lifehouse this morning. I'm just being sentimental today. A'ight. Peace.
