I am thankful for those who do not allow themselves to be caught within the restraints of culture or society. Those who hear something different, who see something other than the norm. They walk around as if they know something; something enlightening. As if they have been given a gift."He who has ears, let him hear."Those among us that see; bless this world with amusement, with provocation, with inspiration.
C.S. Lewis in "the Weight of Glory" offers the following:
"It is a serious thing to live in a society of possible gods and goddesses, to remember that the dullest and most uninteresting person you talk to may one day be a creature which, if you saw it now, you would strongly be tempted to worship, or else a horror and a corruption such as you now meet, if at all, only in a nightmare. All day long we are, in some degree, helping each other to one or other of these destinations. It is in the light of these overwhelming possibilities, it is with the awe and the circumspection proper to them, that we should conduct all our dealings with one another, all friendships, all loves, all play, all politics. There are no ordinary people. You have never talked to a mere mortal."
Makes you wonder. If we knew the true nature of the man pictured above would we be tempted to worship or would we run in horror? Either way this guy looks like he has something brewing a bit deeper than what you and I might call normal. There are no mere mortals. If we all lived a slight bit closer to our spiritual reality this world would burst with color, sound, and texture.
May your light shine; the light of Glory; the light that was in the beginning; the light that the darkness cannot overcome. "To live is Christ."
