Ursula K. Le Guin on Equilibrium

The graphic above can serve as a link to a larger version, in my Flickr photostream, which requires no password for viewing. The column structure of this blog puts restraints on the size of graphics I can post here.

The quotation at the top of the graphic above sets forth the central idea in the Earthsea books of Ursula K. Le Guin. (The books have a fine narrative structure, solid characters, and a good plot, besides this central idea.)

Although Le Guin is a self-professed Taoist, not a Christian, I don't think a Christian should have any serious quarrel with the idea of Equilibrium, as expressed by the wizard Ged, the main character in the Earthsea books.

The photo in the graphic was taken by me, in the Madison River Valley of Montana.

I have recently posted more on The Farthest Shore.

Thanks for looking and reading.
