delara, interrupted

I have been having - nay, enjoying - a C.S. Lewis-fest! After having seen "The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe" at the cinema last week (with the fabulous Mrs. Susi Graves, I might add) and having just finished "The Great Divorce", I was moved to watch "Shadowlands" again today. And I have to say, it remains in my top 5 most romantic love stories of all time. Especially that it's based on reality!! Man oh man. If only we could all come to the same realizations about love, faith and relationship that good old Clive did. I cried. A lot. And I celebrated at the same time.

I celebrated the fact that I know so many people who are, in fact, exploring their own love stories at this moment. They are courageous, bold, scared, unsure, happy, sad, and everything in between. In their exploration - and through their generous sharing about what the journey is like - they are redefining what love means and they are allowing it to transform their lives, their very souls. And *that* is something to celebrate indeed.
