I just read some more of “Orthodoxy” by G.K. Chesterton.  I’ve been working at this for over a year now.  And like in Roz’s blog post about reading, a lot of it is way over my head!

But here is one analogy that I just understood: human joy and life is like a mirror, that if you were to strike it, in an instant it would be broken; however, if you were to leave it be, it could last forever.

This is interesting when thought of from the point of view of sin and free-will.  The picture he’s painting in this chapter is way bigger than that, but for now that’s as much as I can actually describe!

Enjoy that image.
