A Sacred Fellowship

Kathryn and Lorienne discuss the confrontation in Prince Caspian between Nikabrik, the hag, and the werewolf with Caspian, Doctor Cornelius, and Trufflehunter. Satisfaction has legal, religious, and emotional meanings and the lack of it can be jarring.

Kathryn and Lorienne reviews Chapters 10 & 11 in Prince Caspian through the theme of blindness. The term blindness has had metaphorical meaning for centuries. Where do you see blindness, confusion, obstacles? Why can't the children see Aslan?

We love Lucy! Belief is our theme, as in trusting when you don't know, having faith when you are not certain. Let's here it for the thin places where we are off balance and have to trust what comes next.

“Psalm 131

Song of Quiet Trust

A Song of Ascents. Of David.

1 O LORD, my heart is not lifted up,

my eyes are not raised too high;

      I do not occupy myself with things

       too great and too marvelous for me.

2 But I have calmed and quieted my soul,

       like a weaned child with its mother;

       my soul is like the weaned child that is with me. [245]

3 O Israel, hope in the LORD

       from this time on and forevermore.”

Kathryn and Lorienne take on Chapter 8 of Prince Caspian. In a chapter Lorienne thought was  unnecessary, we find great examples of equity, justice, and righteousness. 

Kathryn was reminded of this speech here. Lorienne had very strong feelings about expectations and the phrase "no offense."

Lorienne raves connects and confuses Doctor Constantine and Doctor Cornelius. Kathryn helps us feel empathy for a clumsy giant. Caspian is clearly the right king for the job.

Kathryn and Lorienne look at how Prince Caspian begins to form found family around him among various beings in the woods from Old Narnia. From Bulgy Bears to a mouse, there are customs, cultures, mores, and even prejudice to fold into this new family. Kind of like a dreamy dance.

Kathryn muscles through a cold while she and Lorienne discuss Chapter 5 of Prince Caspian. Our orphan gets away from his abusers and runs into a very interesting trio.

Kathryn and Lorienne discuss alienation in Chapter 4 of Prince Caspian. Kathryn sees Huckleberry Finn and David Tennant, Lorienne sees Harry Potter and Hamlet. We both see the call to celebrate diversity, own the past, and move toward greater unity.

Now when Jesus saw a crowd around him, he gave orders to go over to the other side. And a scribe came up and said to him, “Teacher, I will follow you wherever you go.” And Jesus said to him, “Foxes have holes, and birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay his head.” Another of the disciples said to him, “Lord, let me first go and bury my father.” And Jesus said to him, “Follow me, and leave the dead to bury their own dead” (Matthew 8:18-22).

The four children meet a dwarf!

Kathryn is walking a marathon in October to support the Jimmy Fund. If you'd like to support her, reach out at [email protected].

Lorienne recommends Too Big for A Single Mind. A true page turner.

Everybody: Watch Blink!

Coming Home is our theme for Chapter Two of Prince Caspian. As we stroll the apple orchard with the four Pevensies, we see different kinds of coming home, Lorienne just says the word carbuncle a bunch of times, and Kathryn bats a thousand with french and greek pronunciation.
