Walking the Passage: I triple dog dare you.... you will never be the same

I triple dog dare you.... you will never be the same

Go ahead... dream.. imagine.... envision... picture in your mind's eye the most beautiful scene .. the most magnificent ... glorious.. splendid arrangement of terrains..... release your heart to dream.... persuade yourself to let go of reason and allow your heart to burst out of restraint.....

We place restraints upon our hopes so as to protect ourselves from disappointment... But dearest friend there is no capacity for disenchantment when you position your thoughts upon Him... and that place where He dwells.... there is no capacity for it to be anything less than it is ... and no human heart.. no mind of earthen bound creatures could paint too massive a portrait that that place wouldn't blow it away as a child blows upon a dandelion.....

to dwell for a second there... to breathe in her air.. to behold her beauty .. will enrapture you ... will ruin you.... will grab ahold of your affections and scream into your heart ... THIS... This is where you belong... This is the place of your citizenship... nothing more real exists... nothing more tangible than that place....

Learn to linger there... for that is home... Be ruined... The very air feeds the soul in ways only it can....

I love her terrains... I love her.... I love how that which she is births His image even more upon me... that seeing her makes me hunger for Him more and more ... and calls forth an allegance to His ways in a way that nothing else can....

One of my Favorite Narnian Quotes...

“One word, Ma’am,” he said, coming back from the fire; limping because of the pain. “One word. All you’ve been saying is quite right, I shouldn’t wonder. I’m a chap who always liked to know the worst and then put the best face I can on it. So I won’t deny any of what you said, even so. Suppose we have only dreamed, or made up, all those things – trees and grass and sun and moon and stars and Aslan himself. Suppose we have. Then all I can say is that, in that case, the made-up things seem a good deal more important than the real ones. Suppose this black pit of a kingdom of yours is the only world. Well, it strikes me as a pretty poor one. And that’s a funny thing, when you come to think of it. We’re just babies making up a game, if you’re right. But four babies playing a game can make a play-world that makes you real world hollow. That’s why I’m going to stand by the play-world. I’m on Aslan’s side even if there isn’t any Narnia. So, thanking you kindly for our supper, if these two gentlemen and the young lady are ready, we’re leaving your court at once and setting out in the dark to spend our lives looking for the Overland.

A Brilliant Quote from Marianne Williamson

Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate,

but that we are powerful beyond measure.

It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us.

We ask ourselves, "Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous?"

Actually, who are you not to be?

You are a child of God.

Your playing small does not serve the world.

There is nothing enlightening about shrinking

so that others won't feel unsure around you.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

It is not just in some of us; it is in every one.

As we let our light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.
