About The Feet of Shadows
Or, An Invitation to Walk
Reality is harsh to the feet of shadows. But will you come? — The Great Divorce
One of the recurring points we find all throughout the philosophical and theological landscapes is the idea of God as “the Real“ or “true Reality.“ This is the case even in Christendom, and especially as Catholics we are ever-more to move towards that Reality.
We are called to become real as we were made to be, not as untrue as we are.
The Feet of Shadows is some of my walk. My name is Jacob Andrews-Murphy, a Northern Irish writer living in England, and I’ve always enjoyed walking.
So did C.S. Lewis, I infer. The Great Divorce, from where this publication takes its name, is about a walk towards reality and the encounters along the way. It’s one of my favourite of Lewis’ books. Maybe it’s a theme for Ulstermen, but I digress.
If you’re interested in the journey, need a companion on your own way, or want something to read for reading’s sake, you’re welcome to walk through the posts here.
In the end, maybe we’ll all arrive at our true destination, the house of the Father.
