The Weight of Glory

I’ve been thinking a lot about glory recently. I can’t really pin down what exactly started it. Politicians seeking it, athletes chasing it, people wanting it, and at the same time it feels like nobody it getting any and everyone is getting some. Whether or not these people deserve it is another argument altogether, and one I know I am wholly unequipped and unqualified to do to.

The idea has been bouncing around in my head for a little while. And when I was gifted C.S. Lewis’ The Great Divorce for Christmas, I didn’t really expect to touch much on the topic. I mean, how much can the topic of glory find its way into a tale that is telling the great separation of Heaven and Hell?

It turns out, it’s surprisingly prevalent.

The Whole Universe, A Noise

It’s the end of finals week and I, quite frankly, am dead.

I have subsisted this week off of a surprisingly low amount of sleep, and embarrassingly high amount of cramming for testing, and a worryingly increasing amount of caffeine.

It has quite possibly been one of my best weeks in college so far.

You have a nice bottom, too.
