“You are never too old to set another goal or to dream a new dream.” – C. S. Lewis

The Chronicles of Narnia
One of the nice things about growing older is the opportunity to go back and reread the books that you loved reading as a child. I recently did that with the “Chronicles of Narnia.”
What fun!
And this is how film makers pictured it in one of the Narnia movies.
As a child, I read for the love of the adventure, not being able to turn the pages fast enough to satisfy my need to know what happens next. I still do that. But I also sometimes take time to look for deeper meanings.
It was easy to find them in Lewis’ Narnia, which he wrote about in seven fantasy novels for young people. The books sold over 100 million copies, and are now being made into movies that have hit it big at the box office.
I guess I’m not the only one enchanted by Lewis’ imaginative mind and words.

“It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to earn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary, decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.”
“You can’t get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me.”
“Failures are finger posts on the road to achievement.”
“We are what we believe we are.”
“Reason is the natura order of truth; but imagination is the organ of meaning.”
