till we have faces – bennu rising

All men are of divine blood, for there is the god in every man.

Till We Have Faces // C.S. Lewis (via theclivechronicles)

I know now, Lord, why you utter no answer. You are yourself the answer. Before your face questions die away. What other answer would suffice? Only words, words; to be led out to battle against other words.

C.S. Lewis, Till We Have Faces (via justanotherquoteblog)

Holy places are dark places. It is life and strength, not knowledge and words, that we get in them. Holy wisdom is not clear and thin like water, but thick and dark like blood.
