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

Communication is quite hard
as everybody knows.
The words we use from sweep to bard
are rarely the same. It shows.

The theory of the ways we talk
are based upon the mind.
The dictionaries there we stock
can conversations blind.

Communication can we smooth
by learning what is known
between two hearts, accepted truth,
then speaking well is shown.

The dictionaries of a land
are standard, sterile, cold,
but friendly words must all be planned
before we know what's told.

The hearts of males and females cry
to be seen as we are.
Our differences, that make us sigh
can be close or yet quite far.

'Tis grace, that oils our words each day.
It helps us kindness show
for different thoughts are on display
through words, our ears don't know.

Communication's softest touch
tries hard to common find
the words, that others know so much
are offered from us kind.
