DC: Toast, Mountain Lion

in a dream last week 

there was a mountain lion in my forest

~

Veronica is our host for Drawing Challenge 

with the inspiration: toast

one meaning for 'toast':

a person or thing held in high regard by a particular group

surely the beings of the forest hold a lion in this fashion

high regard

I know that i do

eloquant

she is the toast of the meadows

the woods

known for prowess

she strolls with a goddess

in balance with the land

Scribble Picnic: Tree

he leaned his forehead against the tree

quieted his thoughts

and 

waited

his heart melded with the trees heart

the tree let flow

hundreds of years of stories

stories  about the birds that came to nest and sing

the fungi and lichen it gave home to

the fairies that lived beneath its roots

the insects that live in its bark

the lad came to know 

those who rested in the shade of this tree

or found shelter from storm

 he saw the lion that napped in its branches

and so much more

he learned that a tree lives a big life

a deep life

a generous life

roots embedded in the earth

limbs dancing with the grace of the heavens

this lad returned as often as he could

to rest his forehead and heart

against the tree
