Black Chapters 9-11

In these chapters we meet the boy for the first time. I find it interesting that Ted portrays Elyon here as a boy. Why does he? Not being Ted, I can only speculate, but what I see is that as a boy he is approachable. he could be talked to, easily. in this world there is no fear of Elyon, only the experience of his deep love, so he is a boy. You can talk to him, play with him, without worry or fear. That's my humble take at least. The people are also intriguing. They are so simple. And I don't mean that in a negative way at all. They are without shame, without fear, without pretense. They are not embarrassed. And seeing them makes me see how different my life is because I DO feel these things. Every time I read this I wish I could live in this world, if only for a short time. We see Thomas wake again in the 21st century and start trying to raise the alarm on the virus. Now really, would you believe him you got this call? I really can't blame people for hanging up on him!
