What B is Reading

C. S. Lewis

The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe

I began reading the Chronicles of Narnia out loud with my best friend and in what someone later informed me was the worst choice of order.  See, we began with The Silver Chair, simply because it was his favorite in the series when growing up.  I liked the experience of reading it so much that I decided to start from the beginning with The Magicians Nephew and read all of them (time permitting).  I have now progressed, as you can see, to what is probably the most well known from the series: The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe.  I am enjoying all of what I have read very much, and would also like to share a quote which I found particularly significant from the first installment.  

As you can see in the photo, the quote says "For what you see and hear depends a good deal on where you are standing: it also depends on what sort of person you are."  

These are wise words, as expected from a work as prolific as the Narnia series. 

I believe wholeheartedly in the concept that one's perspective, along with the collective experiences of their past, will determine their actions regarding the present.  

 Finally, I would like to leave you with a poem which was shared with me by a dear friend. 

It is the work of the Sufi poet Rumi: 


Do you know what you are?
     You are a manuscript of a divine letter.
     You are a mirror reflecting a noble face.
This universe is not outside of you.
     Look inside yourself;
     everything that you want,
     you are already that.
