Heaven.

I'm not one for quotes, but here comes one.

"I have come home at last! This is my real country! I belong here. This is the land I have been looking for all my life, though I never knew it till now. The reason why we loved the old Narnia is that is sometimes looked a little liked this."

So says the talking unicorn towards the end of The Chronicles of Narnia. Everyone knows that the entire series has a intense Christian overtone. For those that don't think so, look at what other books C.S. Lewis wrote. So, what do you think the unicorn is talking about?

So after a massive amount of reading, I finished what I set out to do in fifth grade. It only took more than ten years of my life, but I finally read all seven parts of The Chronicles of Narnia. Even if you do not want to appreciate it for the obvious messages, you can at least appreciate it for the imagery. I am completely awed by the enviorment C.S. Lewis creates.

And yes, I look forward to The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe.

But yeah, towards the end of the last book, there is a lot of talk about things being bigger on the inside than the outside. And, most intentionally, one of these things is a stable.
