"all your wishes and precautions"... interestingly phrased. that's especially difficult for one who had "be careful!" pounded into her throughout her childhood... i often have to ask myself "what part of be anxious for nothing don't you understand?"
I have a hard time reading Lewis (other than Narnia). I had to read this sentence 10 times real slow before I kind of got it. That is probably why I have yet to get through any of his books that I have started. Maybe I just don't read enough.. I don't know. I get what Lauren said though!! :)
there's times i have to read it 10 times too, but when i sit down and ponder what he's saying (sometimes i have to sit down with webster and ponder what jack is saying) it's always worth it.
I agree with that. It's kind of like learning another language. Once translated, it describes a beauty indescribable in our common words. kind of... :)
