| I don't disagree with you, Rhonda. When I say he will accept the everydayness, I meant essentially the same thing you do. What I meant is that Binx no longer has to fight to stave off the ordinary. The day to day routine is fine for him now. He will transcend himself and help Kate and that will be his oneness with God. I see Aunt Emily as representing the gateway to his realization that the search is not important. Every time he talks to her he cannot bring himself to tell her and after the rant, he knows his search is over. His life now will be to do the right thing and take care of Kate and he will find contentment in that ordinary thing which is anything but ordinary. I am limited because, as I said, I am only a reader. There is no Kierkegard in my assessment, only what Percy has put on the page for me. One of my favorite tiny things is that Binx Bolling tells us of those who visit with their beards and bicycles. Such a perfectly clear description of what Percy is trying to convey there. A lovely book and your comments give me a lot to think about. Someday, I will have to read more to understand more. Thank you.
