Once upon a time, there was a little girl who heard about a Great White Lion who lived high on a glowing mountain above the kingdom. Few people actually had personally seen the lion because they were afraid. They had heard about how powerful the lion was, how he actually glowed with a brilliant white light. And even though they had never heard any stories about the lion attacking and eating people, they assumed that since he was a lion, a very powerful lion at that, he must be dangerous. So, other than a few pictures that people took from a distance, no one had actually been near the lion, much less touched the lion.
The little girl was so curious and mesmerized by the thought of the lion that she wanted to go to the mountain to investigate for herself. Her true wish was to touch the lion. When she told her parents about her desire, they got very angry and forbade her to even think of such a thing. When she told her friends of her desire, they laughed at her and said that was impossible.
But that didn’t stop the little girl. She proceeded to head to the mountain with a big smile on her face. After a long hike and steep climb, she arrived at the top of the mountain, where she saw him...He was beyond beautiful, laying majestically upon a high rock as he overlooked the kingdom. She took a few steps towards him, and he turned his head...Their eyes locked...In that instant there was no fear...pure love came streaming out of his entire being compelling her forward. Before she knew it, she was standing before the Great White Lion, engulfed in his furry embrace. Every cell of her body lit up, as she had never felt more LOVE, more JOY, more PEACE in her entire life.
Then she looked down and realized she had disappeared! But if she had disappeared, who was noticing that she no longer was there? Suddenly, she realized that she had BECOME the lion! She looked down at her furry chest, her paws, her tail and started laughing hysterically. No one would ever believe this! This was beyond incredible. It was purely delightful, ecstatic even!
After an amazing afternoon, the little girl realized that despite the elation and unbelievably powerful experience she had, it was time to morph back into her little body and go home. Yet, she knew she would never be the same. She now knew who she really was, her true magnificence and power. Though she was just a little girl, she knew nothing could stop her from sharing the LOVE, JOY, PEACE that she was and from changing the world.
No longer did she feel she had to brag about touching the lion to her friends because she no longer identified as the little girl who was powerless and insignificant. She knew she WAS the Great White Lion in a little girl’s body. She didn’t feel she had to convince anyone that she was the lion anymore than the lion had to convince anyone that he was the lion. Her sole purpose was to BE LOVE and to BE the CHANGE the world is waiting for. The end.
