Here's the original article here, but you have to love any article lovingly referencing C.S.Lewis (at least I do!). It isn't wrong to yearn for something, indeed, we were built to yearn, but only for our true God and Creator, though oftentimes we mistake wanting various things He has made for our innate desire for Himself. That's why we love stories, because we are living in the grandest story of all and we want, above all things, to realize that happy ending, now, not later! But we're still like Sam and Frodo, tramping through the wilds of reality, in quest of we aren't quite sure what, wishing rather to sit around a bright hearth, cocoa in hand, telling our loved ones all the tale, but we won't have a tale to tell unless we keep on trekking through the interminable wilderness, whatever that may be in our own particular tales. And it is that desire, that yearning, that keeps us going, only we need to remember for Who we truly long and never be merely satisfied or content with any lesser what.
