It’s a window in the world
A little portal where you get a better view
And all along the way the days are made
Of little moments of truth

{Song by Andrew Peterson}

Besides The Lord Of The Rings, The Song Of Albion series is certainly my favorite. In fact, 4 years ago, reading those exact same books breathed a desire within me to discover Western heritage; the forgotten ’simple’ past, the long-lost ‘epic tales’. First, that meant becoming a Gaelic singer, then it meant searching out such things as Tiwyr & Robin Hood and learning the strange art of writing so as to better, deeper, tell those stories.

So I find this video of Kevin Kaiser explaining how artists and writers are ‘thin places’ or ‘portals’, people who rend the fabric and let us see absolute truth and beauty in the Other World … I find it truly satisfying to my soul. Kevin, thanks for revealing the truth about Lawhead’s ‘portals’!
