Reflection from A Wind in the Door

I finished book 2 today-- A Wind in the Door. 

I read book 1 (A Wrinkle in Time) last week. I summed it up in one sentence, though I could probably go back and find quotes. My one sentence from it? 

The power of love overcomes; love wins.

Several things stand out to me from book 2:

*kything-- communicating without words

*how love overcomes evil

*the concept of Deepening

Some quotes that stood out to me:

Blajeny to Mr. Jenkins: 

"It is the nature of love to create. It is the nature of hate to destroy. "

~Madeleine L'Engle, A Wind in the Door, p. 149

Proginoskes on the topic of Deepening:

"But human beings need Deepening Places, too. And far too many never have any."

~Madeleine L'Engle, A Wind in the Door, p. 178

On kything:

"Mr. Jenkins had never had that kind of communion with another human being, a communion so rich and full that silence speaks more powerfully than words."

~Madeleine L'Engle, A Wind in the Door, p. 195

Senex on the topic of Deepening: 

"It is only when we are fully rooted that we are really able to move." 

~Madeleine L'Engle, A Wind in the Door, p. 216

I started book 3 today. I am enjoying these books that I never read somehow in my earlier years.
