Where Melaldil is, there is the center. He is in every place. Not some of him in one place and some in another, but in each place the whole, Malaldyl, even in the smallness beyond thought.

There is no way out of the center, save into the bent will, which casts itself into nowhere.

Blessed be he.

This is Pints with Jack, season 8, episode 20.

Paralandra Chapter 17. Blessed be he.

Welcome, friends to Pines with Jack, your favorite CS Lewis podcast, run by three Thalcandriansandrians, Andrew David and myself, Matt.

Today we'll be discussing the final chapter of the book. We've been reading this season,

Paralandra. This is exciting. We've been waiting for this moment. And we've been here before.

We tried recording this last week and everything went wrong. So here we are on a Wednesday, late afternoon, giving it another go.

I'm feeling good.

I feel like we're hitting that point.

We bought the sophisticated audio equipment a few seasons ago.

And it's like cars when you get to your warranty, it all goes at once.

Both Andrew and I are having some serious issues with our cables and replacements are going to be

needed all across the board.

So if I actually sound a little bit worse, there's a reason I'm using an old mic back in the day.

You know what?

This is a good reminder of what we used to have people.

Back to our roots.

Yeah.

This is also a great time to thank our Patreon supporters because we have the wherewithal to replace the cords.

But if you'd like to help along, we always welcome that.
