“Safe?” said Mr. Beaver…”Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you.”
“’but you mustn’t press him, after all, he’s not a tame lion.’ ‘No, but he is good.’”
The God of the universe isn't a tame, weak god, he is a lion. I keep going back to these books my dad read to me as a little girl. Lewis picked an animal of the highest respect, power and strength. He is not safe or tame, but he is good!

This imagery and phrasing always stirs something unknown and scary and beautiful in me. It's good.
