What matters now? They are beckoning to me, these people who look so different than myself ... their look is exotic, dark skin and eyes ... Native American. They have strong sharp features - his face is chiseled with the knowledge of the hunt to survive, to provide for his family. He appears the Eagle protector ... the seasoned warrior ... fearless of all things.
But She, the soft mother-earth ... SHE is the stronger. She shields him from the harshness of life - the pains of change - death and birth. He is renewed by her body. She inspires him to step forward - to create when he does not understand he creates. She grows their combined Spirit within and passes their Spirit to those that follow. He can not bear the thought of her crossing the veil before himself.
For her ... reality is that death is the doorway to greater understanding ... Spirit flows after the breathe ceases ... Spirit lives in the children produced from their bodies, moves in the air, and fertilizes the earth ... Spirit unifies them. Her mantra is "they will always be".
She is lion-hearted and shields him from his fears. They are one. He is strong for and from the lioness.
