C.S. Lewis
“In each of my friends there is something that only some other friend can fully bring out. By myself I am not large enough to call the whole man into activity…. Friendship exhibits a glorious ‘nearness by resemblance’ to heaven itself where the very multitude of the blessed (which no man can number) increases the fruition which each of us has of God. For every soul, seeing Him in her own way, doubtless communicates that unique vision to all the rest.” – C.S. Lewis, The Four Loves
I love how Lewis expresses what is often felt but what many – myself included – are unable to articulate with words. I talked with someone about this and we discussed how interacting with certain people allows us to discover communion through shared joy. Being exposed to the vision and experiences of others makes our own more beautiful and complete, because through them we are given new perspectives of the divine. The soul that meets God intimately will have a profound sense of wonder and love that makes that individual eager to communicate the experience to others.
