I love the different metaphors Pavithra has used in this beautiful and thoughtful poem.To me living like a roar in the cave of the lion's throat is finding your own voice and expressing it and living by it. Your voice becomes you in all walks of life.It means to be true to oneslf. It means finding your own less traveled path and if needed to walk alone. It means following your own bliss. It means finding your original face. As I was growing up I was inpisred by Mahatma Gandhi finding and walking on his path fierecely, undaunted and learning from his long walks. I remember his response to a question asked by a journalist, " Whaht is your life's message?," His answer was, "My life is my message."
Finding your own path is not that easy for most of us. I did not go through fierce struggles as there were not many choices for me to select. When I was studying in a college, I started tutoring highschool students to make my both ends meet. I enjoyed tutoring . I loved helping students who needed help. Many of them have remained in contact with me. There were times I forgot to watch the time, the one hour of tutoring. I found my bliss. And I have been follwowing that path of teaching and serving all my life.I do not have any regrets about choosing and following my path. I want to live singing my song on my lips until time comes for me to go.
