LION & TIGER & BEAR

1 I was sent an email that included the following. It was originally sent by someone named Maurice. “A few years ago the Police in Atlanta removed the two-month old Lion, Tiger and Bear from a ‘narcotics’ Dealer who kept them as proof of his status. After they rescued them, they were taken to the Noahs Chest Animal Sanctuary, where their Workers decided not to separate the little ones.” 6  “They named the Bear BALU, the Tiger SRI KAN and the Lion Leo. They continue to live together, and still live so already 8 years.”12“As the Employees in the Center say, it is something magical and unbelievable when the huge Bear hugs the Bengal Tiger and the Tiger rubs the Bear with his muzzle like a ‘domesticated’ Cat.”

I have found that as I allow myself to be open and available to experience the “other” in each moment, I feel something almost magical happening inside of me. I feel a deepening connection between us, a communication that is beyond words that touches my soul.
