Another quote that hovers on this subject goes something like this: We fear the transfiguration for much the same reasons we believe that art is a "lie" and that stories are "untrue." (I'm sure I just butchered that) Being an artist, I guess I would say I am more open to the unknown...although I do have my judgmental moments. It's unfortunate that things like fantasy, secular music, or anything that has to do with Harry Potter are burned at the stake before they are ever really explored (most people I know who call those things evil have never read or listened to the things they call evil. - Some of my most favorite music that brings me to intimate times with God are of secular origin. I love this book!

Also, the old hymn, by Babcock I believe, "He shines in all that’s fair."
