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

What pain there is when a tooth is hurt!
I need relief and rest.
To have some peace, I'd give my shirt,
for dreamy sleep is blest.

It started last night just before work,
and grew intensely more.
Throughout the night, it seemed a quirk.
We'd root-canaled it 'fore.

This time the dentist could not fix
the pain, that seemed to stay.
His scrips have helped, but couldn't nix
the hurt, that I obey.

A root canal means "no more nerve,"
but why then have I pain?
It seems the nerves, that each tooth serves
have more feels to be gained.

To endodontist I go next
to find the final source
of pain, that doth so often vex
my daily life, and course.
