This is the story of a Lion. A Lion, who once attempted with ferocity, to scratch and claw his way out of the darkness, into freedom. One day, humbled by defeat, his body and mind exhausted, and with his claws retracted, he realized that the darkness that he fought so desperately to defeat was born of a shadow that he himself cast.

Drained and still, he rested. But while he rested, something extraordinary happened. His phantom prison quietly dissolved into the light of his unintended humility, as a cloud disappears into the blue of the ever-welcoming sky.

Every now and again he still feels the impulse to draw his claws. Only now he remembers the light, and slowly but definitely, the pieces of his oft defended personality fade into eternity until he is no longer me.

Until he is………..nothing.

Until he is………..everything.
