THE FIRST POST


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.

Keshavan Nair

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.

1 - What a beautiful, poignant piece! So many unanswered questions, but is there really any need?

I hope that you will continue to write -- it's better to express the demons than to harbor them within. (Comment this)

3 - Netmom,

Thank you for the comment and for your compassion.
I have found that the best tools to fight the demons of evil are those made from love....prrrrrrrrrrrr. I am not afraid. I am determined. I am dedicated. I am
patient. I preservere. I pray and I have faith....that one day my King and I will celebrate our dreams in reality. Today I bought 6 valentine's cards. No flowers, no candy, no candlelight dinner are allowed.
But love is enough. It sustains us. (Comment this)
