“Bad storytellers make spells. Great storytellers break them.” — Martin Shaw What spade should I use to dig deeper into the depths of my soul—or the world’s, or God’s? Thanks to Martin, I’ll use myths. I want always able to follow his train of thought ...more |

| Never have I loved the jungle more. Also—Rikki-tikki anybody? I wish more of the stories were directly connected to the Jungle and Mowgli, but thematically, of course, they are. First time reading the book! | |

“It is Life laughing at Evil—one of my favorite jokes—that something broken, then mended, is somehow made more whole than it was to begin with. In such things, good is doubled by wonder.”

“Yes, to answer your question, it’s like how your father lifted you onto his shoulders to see what you could not, to see what he saw—through his eyes. If he would’ve lifted you even higher, into the heights of his heart, and told you what I’ve told you about your grandmother, you could’ve seen with his eyes even more clearly. Time is different here in many ways, but the slowness is to help you see with my eyes, to lift you up so you can see what you otherwise could not. You mentioned food; there is no urgency here to eat or earn money or sleep. For fear of losing those things, many have rushed through life and overlooked all that I have wanted them to see. There is a greater force than fear here that drives our time, and it is unconcerned with twists and turns in the road, pit stops, and even turning around here and there to glimpse what we’ve missed. What many see as delays are life’s greatest delights to me.”
