I read the article I am reblogging here with some mixed feelings, as I have now outlived the incomparable C.S. Lewis. That he accomplished so much with such great lasting value gives me pause as I near the age of 65 and slowly begin to realize that I am on the downside slope of my life. I don’t know how many years, months, and days I have left, but I know that they are numbered.
The article highlights the way CS Lewis discounted longevity. He couldn’t have known, of course, that he would not see his 64th birthday.
The value in our lives is not in how long we live, but in how well we live.
