The Power of the Lioness Tattoo
It’s amazing how sometimes, I am incredibly inspired, and others, I barely have the energy to go to sleep.
Several days have gone by and I haven’t written a word. On here at least.
Yet, I’ve had good conversations with people I love. I’ve thought great thoughts and hard ones.
The creative life is not easy. Neither is the life that stands for something.
I am learning what I stand for lately. I stand for love. I stand for compassion.
I’ve been using my voice in many different areas lately. It feels good.
I also got a tattoo recently. This is a symbol of my strength to move forward toward a life with meaning.
A friend and impeccable tattoo artist designed and inked me recently and I am in love with my lioness coming out of a waning moon. These are my power symbols, protecting me and giving me patient wisdom to a life that worth living right now.
I am wild, a hunter, a soul of love. I am chaos, but will always fight for the rights of the underprivileged.
I am currently doing a bible study with a friend about the way of Jesus. The last devotional has a quote interpretating Jesus’ message in today’s language. It is incredibly enlightening:
“This is what it looks like today when Jesus is running the world. This is after all waht he told us to expect. The poor in spirit willb e making the kingdom of heaven happen. The meek will be taking over the earth so gently that the powerful won’t notice until it’s too late. The peacemakers will be putting the arms manufacturers out of business. Those who are hungry and thirsty for justice will be analyzing government policy and legal rulings and speaking up on behalf of hose at the bottom of the pile. The mercful will be surprising everybody by showing that ther is a different way of doing human relationships than being judgmental and eager to put everyon eelse down. Jesus was announcing a program yet to be completed. He was inviting his hearers then and now to join him in making this happen. This is quite simply what it looks like when Jesus is enthroned.””
When I think about my mission here on earth, it is about standing up for what I believe in.
This is why I love working for the Parks. I enjoy talking to people about this place. Each person has a different reason for being here. There are so many, it is fantastical. The diversity in the National Parks is extensive and beautiful.
I believe the park’s mission for all to have access to these public lands.
I also believe in the power of connections. We manifest things by being stronger together. This is the beauty of the human experience.
Tonight, I feel like I am rambling, and that’s okay because writing doesn’t always have to be polished pieces. When we can come and be raw and share ideas, that is where the magic happen. I feel like magic is in the air lately. Things are manifesting and I am curious as to what it will look like. I believe it will be great.
