Long ago, long ago, At many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets – Long ago, long ago.

But in these last days, but in these last days, God has spoken to us by His Son! The Son!

The Son, He appointed the heir of all things! The Son is the one who created the world! The Son, the Sustainer of the universe!

The Son, He has cleansed us from all our sins! The Son, He is seated at the right hand of God! If you want to know what God is like, then look at the Son! If you want to see what God has done, then look at the Son!

The Son is the imprint, The Son is the likeness, The Son is the radiance of God’s glory!

He is better, Christ is better, He is better, Christ is better, He is better, Christ is better than the…

and is your shame helpful? is it inspiring goodness and change? or is it keeping you frozen in time unable to move on and be everything you have expanded to be?

Tolkien literally said that the embodiment of hope in Middle Earth, the single guy who personally sails, wears, and for all intents and purposes is the Star of Hope in the night sky, was tired of all the struggles of this world and wanted to see what the next would offer…but he stayed for love of his wife. And he sails home to her every morning and she flies up to meet him.

And then people expect me to be normal about Eärendil and Elwing??

NaPoWriMo #24: A poem that starts with a line from another poem

Because I could not stop for Death I simply never died His Carriage can't catch up with me However hard he's tried.

I've just got too much life to live Too many things to see To leave our grand and glorious world For Immortality

Perhaps a couple hundred years Will rob my life of zest But until then I will decline To be the Reaper's guest

So let him chase me 'cross the ways Past lands of setting sun I plan to stay one step ahead And revel in the fun

This is the night

of which it is written:

The night shall be as bright as day,

dazzling is the night for me,

and full of gladness.

“It is not difficult to imagine the peculiar excitement and joy that one would feel, if any specially beautiful fairy-story were found to be ‘primarily’ true, its narrative to be history, without thereby necessarily losing the mythical or allegorical significance that it had possessed. It is not difficult, for one is not called upon to try and conceive anything of a quality unknown. The joy would have exactly the same quality, if not the same degree, as the joy which the 'turn’ in a fairy-story gives: such joy has the very taste of primary truth. (Otherwise its name would not be joy.) It looks forward (or backward: the direction in this regard is unimportant) to the Great Eucatastrophe. The Christian joy, the Gloria, is of the same kind; but it is preeminently (infinitely, if our capacity were not finite) high and joyous. But this story is supreme; and it is true. Art has been verified. God is the Lord, of angels, and of men—and of elves. Legend and History have met and fused.”

- J.R.R. Tolkien, On Fairy-Stories

#the quote i had in mind when i made that post on lewis and tolkien being simultaneously mythology nerds and unabashedly christian #j.r.r. tolkien #fairy tales #legends #mythology #the Gospel

[mademoiseli]

I’m begging you to look at this.

J.R.R. Tolkien and C.S. Lewis were such savage kings when they said mythology was at its best when it foreshadowed or reminded us of the one true myth that is not really a myth but is the objective truth, and that is the Gospel

#these two mythology nerds really said: #these fictitious gods are neat! #anyway let's talk about how everything is really about Jesus in the end #and like same #c.s. lewis #j.r.r. tolkien #mademoiseli

if you spend too many hours online you can cancel out the negative effects by going outside and eating several handfuls of dirt. this works because dirt is the opposite of the internet
