Making the Myth Real

Here's an interesting little article, anything that quotes C.S. Lewis must be worth the read, right?  Then I realized that's why I write stories, well besides for the fact that I'm apparently wired to do nothing but.  I am fascinated with the idea of why stories haunt us, why was that the mechanism through which the Word made flesh decided to communicate to humanity?  Even in this age of disparate interests, Story is still at the heart of our entertainment, purpose, recreation, and culture.  Nobody would care about climate change if it was a mere conglomeration of statistics and measurements, rather we clothe it in epic splendor and proclaim it like the Prophets of old did the coming Messiah and suddenly it is as widespread and accepted as the Gospel in our grandparents' day.  There's a reason He speaks in parables!  The only question is, will we come to embrace the old, old story as more than an intriguing tale of ancient days?  There is a reason we were brought to Narnia, but will we be Susan or Lucy, very participants in the fairy tale of life but either blind to its reality or eager to see what lies beyond it?
