Another Narnia drabble.


There is never any reason to fear. Lusy isn't a fool, she sees the world for what it is but even in its ugliness she sees the hope and promise of beauty all around her. She knows that every day, every moment, is a blessing and so she drinks it in, remembering the joy that was and rejoicing in the promise of what will be. She understands Susan's grief and Edmund's fear and Peter's desperate drive and wishes that she could open their eyes to the wondrous vision that is laid out before them. She stands firm in her faith and knows that one day they too will realize there is no reason to despair.

You're so perfectly capturing these four!

Thank you! That is the highest praise I could ever imagine.

This is so good! I love that Lucy was the only one who didn't give into despair when they were sent back to their world. Good for her.

Lucy's always the special one. The youngest yet in many ways the strongest. She's a great character.

This is perfect, dear. I could just need a pinch of Lucy-ness in my own life. Urgently. *sighs*

I too could desperately use a little Lucy-ness in my life. Sometimes I'm a little too Edmund for my own good. *sigh*

You are on a woman-of-faith tear this week, and I LOVE it. More and more wonderful!

It's like you said, it's good to be involved in fandoms with female characters. It feels so good to stretch out in more familiar mind-sets.

'Course, that hasn't stopped me from having some long discussions with Ron Weasley ...

Her name, of course, means "light".

Of course. Lewis knew exactly what he was doing.
