"‘He’s wild, you know. Not like a tame lion’"
...
"‘Safe?’ said Mr. Beaver; ‘don’t you hear what Mrs. Beaver tells you? Who said anything about safe? ‘Course he isn’t safe. But he’s good. He’s the King, I tell you’"
- C.S. Lewis, Narnia: the lion, the witch and the wardrobe
"A woman is a warrior too. But she is meant to be a warrior in a uniquely feminine way."
I'm writing an essay with title "Define "wild" as part of christianity, if there is any?"
and here are some thoughts this far (S, if you are reading this, now you know how i got to final product...)
* defining wild: not under my control, not bound by expectations, ...
* dictionary definitions: uncontrolled or unrestrained, esp. in pursuit of pleasure, random, haphazard,
stormy, inhabited, dishevelled, living or growing in the natural environment; not domesticated or cultivated...
* my thesis is that wild is an essential part of christianity, now just have to find good arguments :)
*Jesus was often wild, He did things outside of common expectations or restrictions, but not to rebel but to redeem, He also stormed sometimes and definitely wasn't domesticated
* Holy Spirit is wild (you can't see Him, you can't control Him)
* Father God is definitely wild, have you ever read Old testament? :)
* trusting wild, following adventure and releasing control is to trust God, trusting His goodness
But what does being wild mean to us in every day life?
What is mature wildness?
How do we allow and cultivate wildness?
