Lion Sketch

Lion Sketch

An assignment was given to our cohort to bring in something

that represents us, our change over the last year,

a certain something, a tangible something to share our growth

to those individuals who have seen us grow,

and weep, and struggle laugh and pray,

meditate, communitcate, chant, and elevate.

This was a sketch to display the Lion in me,

but also to show that we are always changing, shifting, growing

as InI am far different than this morning,

having walked in the cool breeze of the day

and conversed in a way unplanned.

InI dedication to the Most High through all of the

learning, the yearning, the breaking of lenses

that have been created within me

through my experiences and trod.

What still remains is the desire for

overstanding and a consciousness

that allows me to be present in the present,

and in the Presence of HIM

"We must look into ourselves, into the depths of our souls.

We must now become something we have never been before.

For our education, experience, and environment have ill prepared us."

King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah,
