People, come visit me in Texas...
Until then, I have been reading Orthodoxy by GK Chesterton. I am a fan. Here are the two statements that made a big impact during my reading today:
"A child kicks his legs rhythmically through excess, not absence, of life. Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged...For grown-up people are not strong enough to exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in monotony."
"In short, I had always believed that the world involved magic: now I thought that perhaps it involved a magician. And this pointed a profound emotion always present and sub-conscious; that this world of ours has some purpose; and if there is a purpose, there is a person. I had always felt life first as a story: and if there is a story there is a story-teller."
