Iron Lion Zion

I think we all can agree “2016” was sort of ‘rocky’ for many of us. That could mean different things for different people. Whether it meant tragedy, stress, or enormous change, we all went through it, some more gracefully than others, but as we push through the fog into 2017, let’s keep our faith strong and be resilient as we know we can be. 

The more time passes, the more we tend to become bitter, cynical or un-hopeful, but we must not let the leathery moments in life keep us steeled away. We must keep our child-like zeal and lust for the ambitions we hold in our hearts. We must remind ourselves that with a positive mind, and positive people surrounding us any and every thing is indeed possible. We can ultimately reach our desires once we actively make steps towards our dreams. 

No matter how small these steps are. Every move forward is precious! Life is not a race, and we run and run to realize that we all get the prize. So slow down; enjoy the moment and the people you meet along the way. It’ll enrich our experience and inspire us to perform optimally with plenty of energy even after we cross the finish-line!

Bless-up darlings!

Here’s to a wonderfully magical NEW YEAR!

Iron Lion Zion

Lioness

Lioness I am

But thick mane I wear

I tend to hunt

Rather than sit and stare

Prowling yes

But silently

For nothing worthy

Invigorates me

I shall not pounce

Or roar and run

For beguiling tracks does not attract

And humming bees that lead to nests

Although sweet of honey

Prove only pests

And so I hunt

With all my might

For a reflection found

With elephant light

Though handsome and strong

And smooth he be

Charm and fun and flattery

It is not this confusion that I need

Instead refreshing and pristine

A drink of water in healthy streams

We need not den, cave, nest or grove

Only touch, taste, smell, melting eyes

And the thump, thump, thump of our souls...

And yes I hunt

Its you I seek

A love divine

Finally...my peace.
