Nature is mortal; we shall out-live her. When all the suns and nebulae have passed away, each one of you will still be alive. Nature is only the image, the symbol; but it is the symbol Scripture invites me to use. We are summoned to pass in through Nature, beyond her into that splendour which she fitfully reflects.
And in there, in beyond Nature, we shall eat of the tree of life. At present, if we are reborn in Christ, the spirit receives life from Him at a thousand removes--
The faint, far-off results of those energies which God's creative rapture implanted in matter when He made the worlds are what we now call Physical pleasures;and even thus filtered, they are too much for our present management. What would it be to taste at the fountainhead that stream of which even these lower reaches prove so intoxicating? The whole man is to drink joy from the fountain of joy.
C. S. Lewis in "The Weight of Glory"

That is a beautiful quotation from C.S.Lewis. To enjoy the scenes of nature while we are here, scenes our Father has created for us, but always to remember that after this life all will be even more incredibly wonderful. (Dad just walked by and said," C.S. Lewis is just so quotable"). Mom
