SEED QUESTIONS FOR REFLECTION: What does living like the roar in the cave of the lion's throat mean to you? Can you share a personal story of a time you felt like you were ready to explode your flavor into everything? What helps you be like the wick in a candle -- flickering, fierce, alive?
Powerful thoughts here to motivate a willingness to allow transformation to occur. Thanks for helping me to feel brave this morning!
Magnificent. I completely resonate with it. What a way to wake up this Tuesday morning

When expressed, the lion's roar is powerful, heeded, respected, and even feared. When held in the cave of the lion's throat, there is no roar to be heard. I'm much more fulfilled when I live like the lion's roar, which means embracing and expressing my real self, rather than keeping me in my cave, unheard and unknown. When I live like the lion's roar, I explode my flavor into everyting, and I make a difference. I have done that many times, which is satisfying. I have also imploded or held me in or toned me down many times which is frustrating and dissatisfying. What helps me be like the wick in a candle, on fire and alive, is accepting and expressing my self, which sometimes takes courage and usually is rewarding..
What a beautiful passage! It takes fierce courage to live this way. I specially resonate with the statement "Think. Think hard. What shape are you holding and in what container are you held? Those are not questions to be asked or answered lightly." Indeed, its a lifelong quest to ask and answer this question.
