dear c & k

does this give some kind of explanation?

love us

It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which...you would be strongly tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal. Nations, cultures, arts, civilizations--these are mortal, and their life is to ours as the life of a gnat. But it is immortals whom we joke with, work with, marry, snub, and exploit--immortal horrors or everlasting splendors.

~~~C.S. Lewis

"This is what mortals misunderstand. They say of some temporal suffering, 'No future bliss can make up for it,' not knowing that Heaven, once attained, will work backwards and turn even the agony into a glory."

~~~C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce

Inner Beauty Far Outways Outer Beauty...

something that i've come to understand first hand and whole heartily believe 100%. have i been confused about what it meant to truly be beautiful? yes. but after one too many "come to jesus" experiences and painful realizations, i honestly now understand. and for those i am thankful because that's the only way to learn and to become truly humbled.
