You don't have a soul. You are a Soul. You have a body.-C. S. Lewis
I was pondering some writings of Clives Staples Lewis while my kids were watching Wallace and Grommit and it all resulted in a strange blog...
I believe in beauty. Beauty helps us link what is ideal with what is real. In our culture, beauty has been reduced to glamour, and we settle for it. I believe that there is a deep need in our lives to identify with beauty. In our culture there is a tendency to equate identity with biography; you are what has happened to you. But I don’t believe that is who we are. I believe there is a place within the soul where neither time nor space nor flesh nor no created thing can touch. There is a place with in each of us where no one has ever gotten to us; where we are undamaged; there is a seamless sureness and a natural confidence and tranquility. This is who we are and it is the intension of an active spirit to take us, through imagination and creativity, to this place of spiritual beauty as frequently as possible.
