It is a painting by the Artist. It is a story told. You and I are characters, but we are not the focus. Look around you &#8211; do you honestly believe that this story revolves are you? If you haven&#8217;t noticed, this world is spinning on its axis without you. Add to that the fact that while spinning, it is orbiting the sun. This poem is bigger than my character.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Path:\u00a0 Taking the form of a tilt-a-whirl, the author spins in and out of stories, woven together to make the reader see the bigger picture. It is bigger than you and me &#8211; combined. Following the seasons, Wilson walks through life asking big questions like &#8220;What is &#8216;evil&#8217;?&#8221; &#8220;Why is there pain?&#8221; &#8220;What about Hell?&#8221;<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Sources: A student of philosophy and an avid partaker of C.S. Lewis and G.K. Chesterton, N.D. Wilson argues and laughs with men from all ages.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Agreement: I covet his working of words. He speaks and I see. His imagination is astounding. I want to see life through his eyes. I want to clutch the grass to hang on and look for fish under the couch. Graveyards <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">are<\/span> Gardens.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Disagreement: Even though I agree that no one will go to Hell without that being the best option in their eyes, I don&#8217;t think they will have a choice after death (but even if they did they wouldn&#8217;t choose heaven). I also don&#8217;t think his word choices in every instance are necessary &#8211; even to prove a point.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Personal App: This unfolding story is too big for me to focus on myself. I need to see the world through the eyes of the Master Storyteller.<\/div>\n<div><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_89oxiIwvtak\/STKZPZBKd5I\/AAAAAAAABoE\/Ymt-6gcUclU\/s400\/NASA%2BSpace%2BWallpaper%2B0034.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/_89oxiIwvtak\/STKZPZBKd5I\/AAAAAAAABoE\/Ymt-6gcUclU\/s320\/NASA%2BSpace%2BWallpaper%2B0034.jpg?resize=320%2C256\" width=\"320\" height=\"256\" border=\"0\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>Stars: 4 out of 5<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>It would be worth another read and I would recommend it.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<div>I received this book from Booksneeze.com in exchange for an honest review.<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Notes from the Tilt-A-Whirl\u00a0by N.D.
