IDENTIFY THE CAT
27 November 2006

Face the lion
and relax in the strength
of the paws
and claws
and jaws;
and have the courage,
perception
and wisdom
to discover the kitten.

Hello Owl, I think it is the same when standing before a human being, forget the lion, see the cat....
Wonderful to read

Thanks, Margherita. I feel very honoured at what you say.

Yes, Yann, I agree, but what I mean as well, is that the lion is important too. They are both there in everyone if only people will let themselves be the best of both.

. . . and to see them both in other people, too, of course.

Diana, not only are you a wise owl, you are a strong lion and gentle kitten, as well!

I always enjoy reading you!

Have a glorious day!

Thanks, Linda. You make me smile very happily. To be called an owl, a lion and a kitten makes me very happy, but a wise owl, a strong lion and a gentle kitten makes me even happier! Beeeeeg smiles and hugs to you, Linda.

Cool idea ... and certainly true in the world of cats, big or small.

Unfortunately I think in the world of people, I tend to see kittens and not notice that they're lions, which can be dangerous in the long run

Nice poem, thanks for sharing!

Thanks, Leoni. Yes, I understand what you mean. My opinion is that in the world of animals, lions are strong, courageous and protective of the members of their pride, but people who abuse their strength, power and privileges are not worthy of being called lions.
