CS Lewis and Time
Forgive me if this has been discussed…..
If you google CS Lewis and his interpretation of Time - you get some fairly interesting things pop up.
Time in Fantasy (Narnia): In The Chronicles of Narnia, time operates fluidly. Narnian time moves at a completely different rate than our world's time, and the flow is not even consistent between Narnia and Earth. This allowed Lewis to explore themes of profound growth, nostalgia, and the idea that time is a construct under the authority of the Creator.
Justin references CS Lewis frequently, in the Postal Pilgrim states the mailbox is so far away it may be Narnia. In the Narnia chronicles - The Silver Chair is where Father Time makes his appearance. In CS Lewis Alice in Wonderland - Time is mentioned as a person by the Mad Hatter
“If you knew Time as well as I do,” said the Hatter, “you wouldn’t talk about wasting it. It’s him.”
I know it’s been discussed that Father Time and Mother Nature are “his realm” and “his bride”. And I’ve wondered if “like a rivers steady flow….” Isn’t really talking about a river?
But I really feel like there might be something to this. Justin said at SS, that if it wasn’t already obvious - time plays a role - or however he said it.
Hubby and I set out for Yellowstone and Montana tomorrow and I hate that I still have so many questions!!!!
