Master of Musings

Frederick, Md.

I am reading a book called "CS Lewis: Images of His World." In it there are excerpts of musings from this master of thought and expression. It is comforting to know that the sort of thing I've undertaken here with "Mark's Musings" in journalling was an important part of the life of Lewis. He loved walking, observing, and musing. I could have no better model than this most remarkable man. I am fortunate in this age to be able to capture the images of my travels to instantly publish with the musings--even the very simple images like this city garden where the low rays of the evening sun shine upon the tall Monkey Grass.

I should like to record just a few of Lewis' musings here in his pursuit of Joy:

"No one can describe the delight ... and the old never hackneyed romance of travelling"

"Any patch of sunlight in a wood will show you something about the sun which you could never get from ... books. These pure and spontaneous pleasures are 'patches of Godlight' in the woods of our experience"

O Lord, who created and sustains this beautiful natural world; grant that we, like Jack Lewis, might find in your creation those gems that open the windows of heaven to us and provide to us a foretaste of your delightful Joys; through Jesus Christ our Redeemer. Amen.
