About the adventure of God

Why does this seem like an adventure to me? I really don't know but it does.

Thinking about God, for me, is like entering the Tardis or C.S. Lewis's wardrobe; you think you're entering a phone box or an ordinary piece of furniture and, lo and behold, you find yourself in another world, a great cavern, the Cathedral of the Universe.

It's as exciting to me as science or art or sport or music or falling in love or any other of the great wonders and delights of our world. If you see the whole of creation as God's handiwork, as I do, then whatever joy you find in life is a part of that universal joy which is in the heart of God.

I'm going to re-read this and think it sounds like a crazy ramble but I just wanted to begin sharing my jottings and thoughts on God with, if you like, an overture of exuberance before the great symphony of God's life and love which runs through and inhabits every nook and cranny of our world.
