old and new

C.S Lewis
I will always delight in the stories you have to share with me.
Of far away places and peoples, of ideas and values old and new
Of a bigger story that we all take part in.

I also like the little oddities of your vocab, which is already so far from mine.
Here are a few faves from A Horse and His Boy.

adjective

august |ôˈgəst|

All

I will say over and over, all the things that I’ve meant before,

All those things which tell the truth,

Of I am,

To let go the words

I’ve held back,

Taken in by the Word

All, all, all, all will be well,

All, all, all, all will be sure,

To be found is to go astray,

To leave, to return one day

Essential as one foot before the next,

As sure as the coming tide,

As near as a breath,

Eternal I am,

All I confess,

To live who You are
