We live much of life amid unique choices. Joy is anchored in The One beyond our life.
"Failures, repeated failures, are finger posts on the road to achievement.
One fails forward toward success."
C. S. Lewis


"I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen:
not only because I see it,
but because by it I see everything else."

C. S. Lewis




“I have come home at last!
This is my real country!
I belong here.
This is the land
I have been looking for all my life,
though I never knew it till now...
Come further up, come further in!”
― C.S. Lewis, The Last Battle

“The Road goes ever on and on
Down from the door where it began.
Now far ahead the Road has gone,
And I must follow, if I can,
Pursuing it with eager feet,
Until it joins some larger way
Where many paths and errands meet.
And whither then? I cannot say.”


J.R.R. Tolkien, The Fellowship of the Ring


“All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”

J.R.R. Tolkien

That humans write the things they feel
historically is true.
Can artificial thoughts be real
computing what they do?

I have no doubt computer writ
will flawless be withal,
but can the writings it submits
yet feel the human call?

And if we're bested by the brain,
that has no human heart,
is there a hope, that we can gain
some value, ne'er to part?

The perfect beauty seems quite good
from bits, and bites at work,
but these can never know the mood
expressed by the writer's quirks.

I've heard piano pieces done
as nearly perfect rote,
but I left the concert hall with none
to write about nor quote.

With imperfections, we relate
as true in human bent.
Perfections are not quite as great
from human hands be lent.

Perfection is Divine purview,
and there it must remain,
forever, though our lives when through,
will better skills then gain.
