the reading of mere christianity continues…
and c.s. lewis is looking for truth,
for the realness of this “something” that that comes in above
and beyond the actual facts of how humans do behave.
this “something else”, this law of how we ought to behave,
that none of us made, but, which we find pressing on us
to be fair, honest, kind, unselfish.
things that we expect from others as well as our self.

I too love the sun you drew Nancy…to expect from others.. mustn't we give the same? Whatever that "something" is?
Yes. I agree with you and Glynn. Good read! Anything by C.S. Lewis would be.
"Something else" -that does sum it up. Thanks Nance. Love the comments too.
What you said, what Helen said.Wow!and Glynn's poem — so true! :)And yes, how did you do that sun? Lovely.
I was thinking along the same lines last night, and remembering Pontius Pilate asking Jesus "What is truth?" Jesus was silent. I always wondered why, then yesterday it hit me: Pontius didn't really want to know.
We do expect it from others. Ialways havea good excusewhen I fall short, though.
I like the sun–how did you do that? It was a welcome sight this morning.Fair, honest, kind, and unselfish: yes. Hard to accomplish –must be tuned into God at all times to even hope to be that way—but still the utmost to strive more.
