- You find me in a basement pub in Illinois with CS Lewis scholar Jerry Root and poet Sarah Emtage. If you like her poem check out her writing here: scribblore.com
If you are enjoying these little visits and you'd like to encourage me with coffee and cake you can do so here: www.buymeacoff...
One of the most uplifting channels on You Tube, for sure.
This grandpa is hiding a lot about himself😅
Yes!
@@OlexiiZaparovan What?
'A hidden inn with books and friends....' -- if I were to be asked what my conception of a corner of heaven is like this would be it
That's exactly what I was thinking. You who live in countries that still hold a strong cultural tradition can enjoy friendships like this, but here in Brazil the “inhuman dearth of noble natures” is truly inhuman,
@@JoaoPedro-gt9qqI wish you peace . I pray you find a happy place and compassion once again guides your home land.
@@thevoid902 Thank you, that's very kind of you.
Godless I presume
@@JoaoPedro-gt9qq God Bless you my friend. I hope you find peace and happiness 🙏
A pipe, a 16 year old whiskey, a fire, books and friends - marvellous Malcolm. I am very envious and would have loved to be there in person, but thank you once again for inviting us in to share it with you.
Im going to be THAT guy... scotch whisky has no 'e' in it 😊
Sorry Curtis, I am but a poor Englishman not well versed in the variations of the different spellings of whisky! But you live and learn! 🙂 🏴
“Oh come in, come in.” ❤
I always save these videos for bed. Such a good way to relax from the day
Glad you like them!
I’m currently wrestling with a nasty bout of tonsillitis after a cold, so imagine my bliss when I sat, exhausted, in my recliner with the umpteenth cup of tea in my hands and saw this episode come out! Truly a slice of heaven. Thank you for inviting us to share such a cozy moment. I’m finally relaxed for the first time in a week, thanks to the poems and excerpts. Finally, I will hopefully get some shut-eye.
Thank you, Malcolm, Jerry, and Sara, for this extremely cozy encounter.
buy yourself some iodine, 2 or 5% (I use lugols)
Take 2 drops a day for 3 months and then begin 4 drops per day for the next 12 months. While on this iodine program consider also adding Mg and some selenium. For more details on iodine look up Dr Mark Sircus.
Since beginning iodine dosing 20 years ago I have never been sick or ill since.
wishing you better health
I'm filled will envy but attempting to turn it to grace and appreciation for your warm time with creative friends. 🥃
What a gorgeous basement. Truly jealous.
This looks like heaven, a blurry heaven but heaven none the less.
It's all that pipesmoke...
Such beautiful energy! What's better than a pipe, a 16-year-old whiskey, and lovely friends? Thank you for sharing these wonderful moments with us.
Texas here. Me and my daughter love reading. We just finished treasure Island and you've inspired me to go pipe hunting. Wonderfully serene and uplifting channel.
thanks!
This channel is like a warm blanket, on a cold wet windy January night
This guy always puts a smile on my face.
As a native of Gondor, I've long suspected Hobbits still existed but the Shire remained far off and hidden from us - and now I get to see one!
your lifestyle is inspiring
I smiled ear to ear for 11minutes...thank you so much and thank you Sarah
You're welcome 😁
Just this week I had the honour and pleasure of meeting Jerry and smoking several pipes over two evenings in Wisła, Poland. He is such a great company. I only wish I heard him talk on Lewis, but he was there to cover other topics. Thank you for posting rhis video.
Phoenix Feather pen....fabulous ❤
What a nice place with drinks and books ! Thanks for the video.👍
I love how Sarah bobs her head every time Malcolm reads aloud. Like it’s music to her ears 😋
I didn't realize how much I was nodding till I watched it after 😆 You're right though! I love the way Malcolm reads.
Wonderful to see you with this warm fellowship, I didn't know you were friends with Jerry, but that is no surprise! Greetings from Robert Seelye's grandson (Jerry know him). Thanks for all your generous sharing of these moments.
My spouse took a class with Jerry (C.S.Lewis) and I snuck in for a session. He was quite generous, full of stories, and a master teacher. We had started our church ministry career at the same church (decades apart) and so we had known the same friends. He then spoke at the church I was working at, full of stories, and he preached with a fullness it was like he opened up all of the windows in a large, otherwise darkened room.
The phoenix feather pen was a lovely poem
Wonderful! And a marvelous poem!
Wow, this is amazing! I love this incredible creativity and fantastic display of friendship and enjoying the good things of Life. Thank you for sharing this charming hideaway / sanctum with us! I'd love something like this for myself! Thank you for the inspiration! And I LOVE the "Phoenix Feather Pen" poem!!! Much Love from Brooklyn, New York! ❤
So glad i found this channel . The world needs more people like Malcolm.
Malcolm's excitement is so infectious, God bless this man
Always enjoy having a pipe with a friend.
Same. I mix peyote in mine though.
Sounds flavorful!
Introductions to those we may meet in the infinite. It’s moments like this we again realise why we love MG. I love how it feels as if I’m in the room with lovely fascinating company when I watch these vids ❤️
That looks like an ideal sanctuary. Traditional pub feel with a roaring fire and a fine selection of books to peruse
LOVE this channel. The passion, the joy, and the reverence for literature/story is infectous!
A wonderful video, is this! A crackling fire, good friends both old and new, a dram of scotch, a beloved pipe, and prose and poetry alike. What a sublime experience!
Glad you enjoyed it
Such a cozy video and such amazing poets and writers in the room, wow. Thank you for sharing!
Glad you enjoyed it!
So amazingly civilized👏
What a wonderful sight, there is something romantic about books that can't be replaced digitally
If only we could all be so lucky as to have a visit from Malcolm...what a wonderful day would be had!
Hiyas Malcolm,
What a wonderful gathering of friends and delightful books in the perfect basement pub!! I enjoyed your talk on George MacDonald at the Wade Center at Wheaton College, thanks to YT. I live 20 minutes away and wish I could have been there in person.
Glad you enjoyed it
fabulous house, with an old pub in the basement!! very cozy, love the fireplace.
Well this is Supremely Cozy. Wonderful Malcolm. 👍
Dream basement indeed! So warm and welcoming.
What an amazing pub, full of character and charm. My favourite kinds of places.
This whole video is what I aspire to. A secret bar, a comfy seat in front of a fire, surrounded by books, whisky in one hand, pipe in the other, talking about the things we love with dear friends.
This would be my version of heaven.
I could sit and watch and listen to this for hours. What a wonderful time spent with friends, thanks for sharing your experience.
Fantastic! What an amazing place.
Such a joy to see this and to see Jerry. So much affection and respect for him. He opened such possibilities for me and helped me walk into them more than 4 decades ago.
Your Enthusiasm is so life giving. Thanks for the post x
Such a wonderful video. Thank you for sharing.
Wonderful! A pipe, friends, and poetry. It doesn’t get any better than that.
What a great basement-pub. Thanks for sharing it with us
beautiful people, beautiful surroundings ❤
What a good place and friends you were found by. Your lecture entitled "When a Heart is Really Alive: George MacDonald and the Prophetic Imagination" at the Wade center (also on youtube) is also wonderful. Thank you Malcolm.
I know right!
Looking forward to having both Jerry and Malcolm under the same roof in November for the CS Lewis Symposium in Belfast! Until then this little window into their world will do!
Wonderful! So happy to have found you in this wonderful space with such lovely people!
This is beautiful. A cozy hearth with friends and some books.
Hello from Minnesota USA to you all. Wonderful.
Hi malcolm! I love knowing you're over in illinois! I hope someday you come closer to Kansas. I would love to shake your hand, sir.
Wow! We felt your joyous excitement in experiencing your host's tribute to Jack, and we thank you for sharing. Also, we watched your talk on George, and it is, put simply, absolutely wonderful! It resonates so much with our hearts, so thank you very much for letting us hear it too. Heartfelt love, as always. 💕💙 Had to pause last night at the end of the talk, but listened again together today. From one Malcolm to another, may God bless you richly! ♥️
Glad you enjoyed it!
Wish we had this in germany. Still a uplifting video.
Thank you for this! What a lovely video!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Oh to spend a few hours with these wonderful people in the hidden gem.
I dream about having a basement like that…this man is just the best!
We should all be so lucky to have times like these. A truly peaceful respite from our increasingly chaotic and troubled world. God bless.
What a delight to see a famiiar face on one of your videos! Jerry is very beloved here. 😄
Does he have a youtube channel as well?
@@DisciplesHyper No. But if you look for Dr. Jerry Root, you'll find him on channels like the C.S. Lewis Institute and other channels.
Our friends in North America have the luxury of space that makes me envious. What a privilege to be able to have something so special at home.
I've always had a dislike for poetry. Maybe it was my schooling. But Sarah's poem was so simple and eloquent. Maybe I need to to revist poetry.
Thanks! There’s a lot of poetry that I find difficult, too, and I try to write stuff that can be a gateway into the form.
Now this is right wonderful.
The Pipe right under the smoke detector 😂
What a superb place
The lens being out of focus made me feel a bit intoxicated , haha! Fitting for a pub setting!
Pipe smoke is never mere smoke. Excellent video gents. Thank you.
A little corner of paradise!
Though the camera was out of focus, the vibes of this video were immaculate. Such a cozy atmosphere.
yes, maybe the lens needed cleaning
This is fantastic and adorable, I love it. Wish I was really there! But this is a fine simulacrum if there ever was one.
I love the fact this is in Wheaton, Illinois. I used to live in Glen Ellyn and the back property line of the house abutted Wheaton. My wife and I picked up the commuter train to get to the Chicago Loop for work at the College Station (Wheaton College) stop.
Good Evening 😊 A Hidden inn with books and friends are always awesome👌🏽 What more can we need , books and a good pipe 👏🏼👏🏼Enjoy your Pour🥃 Thanks for the Read 📖 Have a wonderful weekend 🤗 Greetings From South Africa 🇿🇦
I traded every book I've ever owned after reading it , to get another on my list of must reads . Kind of wishing i had built a library now.
Malcolm you have a such a good voice for reading audiobooks
That was UH-MAZIN'!!
What an amazing house! I think the Inklings would approve!
If I may suggest, it would be lovely to watch you and Jerry talk anything CS Lewis related. That mancave is fantastic, by the way.
Smart Big room & fireplace nice place
What a magical place!!!
Lived the three happiest years of my childhood in Wheaton, on N. Main St. right near Northside Park. Walking to school in the snow, enjoying the July 4th parade from our front lawn. ❤
Malcolm’s channel is my escape from the craziness of this world.
True, it’s sad we are all trying to escape
@@mad0uche very sad.
Never thought I'd actually see heaven, but here we are. Legendary!
A dream neighbor!
Watched this entire video earlier and have come back to comment more on how beautiful this ‘Spell in the Library’ was.
The meeting with MacDonald is one of my favorite parts of 'The Great Divorce.' Thanks for reading it.
You're not getting away that easily. Let us in!
Fantastic!!!
Thank you! Cheers!
What a treat 😁🇬🇧 Thankyou.
Brilliant and enjoyable!
Lovely poem Sarah xx
Thanks!
What a wonderful video such a lovely treat on a Saturday night
That basement is amazing 🥰
"past times and vanished minds;" wonderful things for contemplation! 🥃
I want to be Jerry when I grow up.
What a wonderful few days at Wheaton experiencing MacDonald with all of our senses. Thank you for the parts you have played in making my heart really alive. Slàinte
Many thanks!
This was just most excellent and unexpected. Many thanks to you all
Many thanks for your generous encouragement!
I really enjoyed that! Felt like I was there with you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
