Narnia 1

I’m gonna be obvious about what I like in Narnia, I like Aslan, I like that he’s visible and powerful and holy and everything that we look for in GOD. It drives me crazy how little he talks, but that’s probably because his words leave more impact when he’s quiet than when he’s loud. Loud leaves an impact, but like it showed in the movie, whatever He said to the witch right before He killed her was silent, and I’ve been wondering about it for years (Bible does the same thing to me). I like how informal the formality is. I have left my closet door open since I was a little kid because of these books. I wasn’t scared of monsters coming out, I wanted Aslan to. Aslan was someone I couldn’t understand when I first read these books. I was on a downward spiral because I’d just recently had the Tooth Fairy, Santa and the Easter Bunny ruined for me (since gone back on the ruining process: power of positive thinking) but there was something inside of this that I couldn’t and never will get out of my head. I’ve read it times over since then trying to figure out what happened in there because the feeling that there’s more is beyond everything that I keep trying to focus on. Knowing that the story ends is sad, but honestly I read a lot of the Narnia fanfiction, and some of it is incredible. It’s hard to let this world go because it’s got everything in it that I want. And the fact that it admits GOD rules it is an added bonus.
