Brokenness

Aslan spoke to me today.

"If you desire, oh Son of Adam, to see how true your lineage runs, and how aptly that name befits you, then find yourself a wife. Your wretched state will soon become painfully clear when you yourself bring her sorrow and pain, as you hurt the woman you love through your selfishness and pride."

I understand my dad so much better these days.

What's that quote from Lewis? It's either in Out of the Silent planet or Paralandra that Malacandra or Peralandra her self says something along the lines of: "If, oh little one, we thought even the highest and purest of your thoughts our lights would be extinguished."

I'm starting to see that we're all screwed up, far more than we like to admit. Or perhaps more accurately, far more that we even realize.

Thank you Dad, for always setting a good example, for doing so much right, and letting me see you learn and grow and make things right when you failed.
