Meditation in a Toolshed

This piece is really had some good points to it. Lewis explained the difference between looking at something and looking along something. From my interpretation I would say that looking along something is describing or analyzing what it is, and looking at something is actually doing it, experiencing it.

I think that both are important because you need to experience something before you can truly and correctly describe it. Without the experience of it happening to you, your explanation will be missing some things because you are only approaching it from a scientific or outsiders basis. If it happened to you then you can correctly explain it because you can tell from a point of view perspective because you actually lived it.

My experience with CS Lewis is brief, which is part of the reason I am in this class. I want to learn more about him and how he writes. I'll admit that when I read this piece the first time it really didn't make much sense to me considering that philosophy isn't my strong suit. But after reading it a couple of more times and after the class discussion it all made more sense to me. Now I can say that I have looked at CS Lewis, before yesterday I was only looking along CS Lewis. Now with the experience of looking at CS Lewis, it makes more sense to me.
