Let’s find the world of dangerous wonder. It’s a real place, you know. It is the place where children and grownups can find God, located just beyond where the sidewalk ends. The directions just might be found in your church, your Bible, or even a friendship. Dull people and dream stealers are not welcome. It is a place like Narnia in the Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe, when Aslan has come back from death. Lucy and the children, eyes wide open with astonishment, recognize him, and then Aslan says,

“And now – “

“Oh yes, Now?” said Lucy jumping up and clapping her hands.

“Oh, children,” said the Lion, “I feel my strength coming back to me. Oh, children, catch me if you can!” He stood for a second, his eyes very bright, his limbs quivering, lashing himself with his tail. The he made a leap high over their heads and landed on the other side of the table. Laughing, though she didn’t know why, Lucy scrambled over it to reach him. Aslan leaped again. A mad chase began. Round and round the hilltop he led them, now hopelessly out of their reach, now letting them almost catch his tail, now diving between them, now tossing them in the air with his huge beautifully velvety paws and catching them again, and now stopping unexpectedly so that all three of them rolled over together in a happy laughing heap of fur and arms and legs. It was such a romp as not one has ever had except in Narnia, and whether is was more like playing with a thunderstorm or playing with a kitten Lucy could never make up her mind. And the funny thing was that when all three finally lay together panting in the sun the girls no longer felt in the least tired or hungry or thirsty.
