Oct 5th Strength The beast sits tensely, observing all from its vantage point, ready to spring into life. There is a rustling in the distance and the beast is off, bounding through the wood with frightening ferocity. There is no thought of harm or personal injury, just the lust of the hunt that drives him. Dense forest gives way to crumbling ruins on a lake shore. Slowly the beast makes his way silently through the dilapidated structures when suddenly he stops, there by an old fountain is a woman. The beast fearlessly enters the square circling the perimeter examining this new prey. The clouds part and the woman stands naked and bathed in moonlight, her body looks like it is radiating light and the beast is confused. Never taking her eyes of the beast the woman starts to hum and sing. Slowly at first but gradually picking up in tempo and force as she pushes her own fear aside. With her will hardened and the flames of her courage fanned into a blazing inferno she begins to dance to rhythms as old as the songs within her blood. Predator and prey are locked in a spiraling dance around the square continually circling one another neither showing any weakness. As the womans singing dies down she comes to a stop her moment of truth is at hand, she takes a step forwards and dropping to one knee extends her hand out to the creature. The beast is bewildered there are things in this world he has never seen and this prey is string things inside him that he has never known. He takes a reluctant step forwards, his need to hunt battling with the waves of love and acceptance she is radiating. A simple smile crosses her face and the creatures heart is won. He pads over to her hand sniffs and nuzzles against it. As the golden light of dawn peaks over the horizon from across the lake the pair make ready to face what this choice and new life will bring. -Today is a day of resolve and resilience. -Do not be afraid to be the rock or stability for others, but do not wallow in their drama with them. -Growth can only come from willingly and lovingly facing ones own self, you must gather your courage to face your fears and master your inner beast. -Encourage your determination and drive and do not run or back down from any situation, remembering that our own harsh circumstances teach us patience and mercy, boldly face each Challenge and stand your ground. -Do not allow your pride and egotism to take control and exercise your mind as much if not more than your body.. Cheries interpretation: We all have a lion within us - it represents our untamed spirit. When we are infants, the lion reigns supreme - it roars and all bow to its demands. As we grow, we are taught to tame the lion, to keep it on a leash as we work cooperatively with others. Some people take the taming too far, becoming closed to their own needs and desires. Do you feel stifled, shut down? Perhaps you need to let your lion be a bit more assertive. Others never tame the beast much, roaring their demands, placing their needs above others. If youve found yourself in conflict with others lately, perhaps youve let the lion run too freely. If youve stepped on toes, you should apologize, and reign in your cat a bit. In summary, today we are reminded to retain our lionine spirit, allowing it to run - but not over others. We have the stamina to see us through whatever challenges we may face.
