“I wish I had never been born," she said. "What are we born for?" "For infinite happiness," said the Spirit. "You can step out into it at any moment…” – C.S. Lewis, The Great Divorce

I’ve been reading this book again and it’s as challenging as the first time.

The basic premise of the book is that the spirits of deceased people are faced with the decision to let go of the thing that is keeping them out of heaven.

The person in the quote above is literally being kept out of endless joy because they can’t believe that is what they were created for.

Something I think of often is how easy it is to get confused.

To think something is true that isn’t.

To believe a lie.

To accept a reality that isn’t true AND isn’t helpful.

We get wrapped up in ourselves and our story. We focus on the trivial and menial.

What if something better was available? That we might be able to step out into it at any moment.

Make it a great day.
