The last chapter in Perelandra is amazing. Here are two quotes that particularly resonated with me today:

“Love me, my brothers, for I am infinitely superfluous, and your love shall be like His, born neither of your need nor of my deserving, but a plain bounty. Blessed be He!” (“He” naturally refers to Maleldil, to God.)”

Where Maleldil is, there is the centre. He is in every place. Not some of Him in one place and some in another, but in each place the whole Maleldil, even in the smallness beyond thought… Each thing was made for Him. He is the centre… There seems no plan because it is all plan: there seems no centre because it is all centre. Blessed be He!”

After you go see Into the Wild, stop by the library and pick up Lewis’ Space Trilogy.

Onto That Hideous Strength!
