I remember this from several years back and find the airport story as powerful as ever. It is always refreshing to spend time in the world of these three Christophers.

It ...Thank you for this very moving and deep blog. It seems like all the wisdom one needs is found in children’s books and watching children play. I also think of faith as more affective having to do with our deepest feelings and cares and belief as more cognitive. Thus, it is not surprising that faith in the generosity of life is intimately wed with love and home and Mom (and Dad too) and the “unthought known” from earliest life. Kierkegaard once wrote a really great book about this called Fear and Trembling, and he was stuck on Abraham and Isaac and the “big” faiths and loves, but maybe all we need is Christopher Robin’s trust in Pooh to remember him until he is 100.<br /><br />I recently had the pleasure of watching a man in his 60s engage a shop clerk near the Appalachian Mountains with the story of Christopher Robin and Pooh. She turned out to be much more than a shop clerk and knew a lot about Moms and the power of Pooh (she said the “tao of Pooh”) and the art of “doing nothing” and even the meaning of spalted wood. I learned a lot that day.<br /><br />I did not know of the “real” Christopher Robin, son of A. A. Milne, and the “real” Pooh,” black bear at the London Zoo. Thanks for the reminder that we are all “at the edge of story” at the most unexpected moments and I suspect A. A. Milne didn’t write a children’s book at all. Please keep these researches and writings coming.<br /><br />-- Galen JohnsonGalen Johnsonnoreply@blogger.com
