LIONESS WALKING

With courage you will dare to take risks,

have the strength to be compassionate,

and the wisdom to be humble.

Courage is the foundation of integrity.

I have started this blog with the help of my son-in-law. He is a jewel. Thank you, James.

I want to find a way to express myself. I am a lioness who walks alone without my mate.

My King is imprisoned in a zoo entitled "Correctional Institution".

For 30 years he has stalked his freedom. He can taste it now. The saliva runs sweet.

I felt his cries of pain and terror through the wavelengths and adopted them as my own.

I left my family to be near him. My friends doubted me, worried about me and cautioned me to be careful.

Yet they did not know the roar I heard in my soul, the roar from a King of men, a leader, a brave and wise

one trapped in the belly of the beast. It is excruciating to see the one you love disappearing in the darkness of hatred

and injustice, a life wasted, talents thrown aside, ambitions drowned in hopelessness.

I am becoming fearless, putting honesty and justice in the forefront, wearing a suit of new

armor , giving up my comfort zones and walking as a soldier. I am growing into the lioness walking.

as each day passes. I grow with the pain of aloneness and become stronger than I ever imagined.

Now my goal is narrow. I trod a path which grows longer and deeper, closer to Heaven than Hell

in the Serengeti of my soul.
