Lions

Owing to the fact that I feel some sort of duty to be here, as well as owing to the fact that I know hiding will not do any good, I'm here again. And I'm thinking about lions, I'm a Leo as in zodiac stars, so I guess that makes me close enough. Lions do not sleep when faced with adversity. They protect their families and although they can feel the fear (which has somehow been measured by an anonymous someone who seems to be very respected on National Geographic), they do not walk away. Lions stay at the foremost of their pack and roar. They roar straight in the face of the enemy. Perhaps it's about time I behaved more like the lion that I am. But it's not an enemy that I'm faced with. I'm faced with adversity which is a lovely way because it explains a lot and yet doesn't give everything away. I'm also faced with PMS but that doesn't really qualify as adversity. And I haven't roared in a long time. It's time I started practising my roar too. I wonder what lionesses do. They probably hide behind their male mate, but I'm an independent girl. And I cannot hide behind my mate, because my mate is powerless in a situation like the one I have on my hands. So am I and so is everybody else. I just have to pray although I know that no amount of praying will change what has to be. And I'll try to behave like the lion.
