Limited Imagination

Last night I watched In the Shadow of the Moon. If you haven't seen it, you need to. I remember wanting to see it when it came out and then my Dad wrote a review on it and I took it as a nudge to see it. Not only was it a history lesson, but a spectacular testament to dreaming. How far can we go? What is our potential? I came across this quote by C.S. Lewis the other day in a book I'm reading. It's worth a few moments of reflection...

Our Lord finds our desires not too strong, but too weak. We are half-hearted creatures fooling about with drink, sex and ambition when infinite joy is offered us, like an ignorant child who wants to go on making mud pies in a slum because he cannot imagine what is meant by the offer of a holiday at the sea. We are far too easily pleased.
