| Stone Lion. California Street. San Francisco. July 2014. |
Can you hear the silent roar of the stone lion?
Roaring from the depth of the urban wilderness.
Hungry for the abundant game of the inner Serengeti.
Flush with an awesome power that so few understand.
Can you see your tremulous silhouette caught in its fierce, unwavering gaze?
Pause for a moment to feel the hot emptiness of its breath. It is you.
Surrender to this kill. Your life is its feast.
You are this savage beauty.
It is here, on this avenue, day and night, in utter stillness.
Just waiting for those rare beings who might hear its roar and stop for a fleeting glimpse into the mirror of their own souls.
Embrace this.
