The Declaration of Strength

[]

I will take this Experience
and I will Know it.
Because I am strong.
Because my chosen path is to suffer, and know, and transcend,
to see Joy, and know, and inspire.
I will take my wisdom gained
and aid others who cross my path.
Aid the weak,
and aid the strong,
when they stagnate, when they are trapped, when they fall.
And when I fall,
May there be another of my kind to help me.

    I love this quite a bit.

    Interesting Halo she's got there. I don't know if she's helping or restraining the lion?

      I get the feeling it is both. I get the feeling she is stopping it from being destructive while not going against its nature, but working within its nature. I think it is licking her arm? Sign of affection in this case, perhaps. It looks like she is petting it while also restraining it. But not forcefully restraining. Probably working with a part of its nature that is often ignored, or usually met with force, rather than love. That is perhaps projection on my part, but that is also what tarot cards are for -- bringing out personal thoughts like this.
