Thank you, Janie! This was a wonderful tribute and reminder. Your line “No cure or antidote for our creeping self-centeredness exists, other than humility and the presence of one another.” caught me especially.

Glen, that’s not what’s being said here at all. No one came close to calling art a savior or redeemer, and what she says here about art is both scriptural and what scripture is – art that reflects and reveals God to us, just as nature does, and a thousand other things He uses to reveal Himself to us.Hetty, this is beautiful, thank you! I haven’t…[Read more]

Nancy, I’m so sorry for your loss. I hope you’re able to find support and comfort. I don’t know if you already have Every Moment Holy Volume II, but that’s been a source of good help for me in my own grief. I hope it might be for you too.

One of the reasons I love fantasy as a genre is because of the inclusion of magic. In fantasy stories—the good ones anyway—magic can reveal the spiritual realities that we all sense in life but can’t see, and h […]

Thank you for articulating what I loved about this movie but could not explain with my own words.
-
Boy, oh boy. Such great thoughts on this story!
-
I agree with Kathryn- I personally loved the film, but my family didn’t seem to quite understand why. I immediately sent this to them because it’s so well written! I loved the first paragraph about “magic” just being a tool to amplify realities we all know deep down- so good.

That’s what I’m talkin about, Emmy!

Nice story. i like this very much

When I saw what happened to the magical house (La Casita) in the story (rebuilt on a new foundation) I was reminded of the line from Andrew Peterson’s song Hosanna: “Come and tear this temple down; build it up on holy ground.” God is building a new home for himself. Jesus is the cornerstone, and we’re the living stones.

My older brother passed away yesterday. So many unresolved and painful issues left unsettled, within the family. I do know that part of my journey forward will include revisiting movies, books, stories, music that can be a vital tool to reflecting on, untangling, forgiving and seeking forgiveness, and walking through the grief ahead. I know the deep magic can work backwards, to restore, renew and transform us, individually, and as a family. Thank you Shige, for your words shared here. Beautiful.

This is a wonderful reflection, Kelsey. That lyric stuck with me too, and I knew when I saw your post that what it must be a reference to. This metaphor of trail magic is helpful, and I’ll take it with me…thank you for sharing.

Thank you so much for this beautiful and wise piece of writing, Shige. It harmonizes well with the message that Pope Francis delivered last night in his homily for the Christmas Eve Mass: “That is where God is, in littleness. . . . This is the message: God does not rise up in grandeur, but lowers himself into littleness. Littleness is the path that he chose to draw near to us, to touch our hearts, to save us and to bring us back to what really matters.”

Thank you, Helena. Beautiful and powerful (you and this piece). Also, “The love of God is infinite and fathomless and it will kill me. It’s the kind of fear you don’t acknowledge on a Sunday morning.” rocked me. Yeah to all that. Keep exploring, thanks for sharing as you map it out.

Just like treasures buried in an overgrown field that nobody wants to buy… Thank-you!

Love this. Thanks Shige.

Our brothers share the same name, spelled the same way. This is the first time I’ve seen another contemporary spell Pieter with an “i”.
Your essay is rich and inspiring. I’ve had Capon’s book on my wish list for a while now. Maybe next year. There are many threads in our lives, beginnings of good works, that will find their fulfillment “farther on”. Blessings on your Advent, Shige. -
A wonderful reminder!
