I had a dream the other night that, while on the trail, a mountain lion came up to me. I tried everything I read about in those situations (appeared bigger, make noise) in hopes to scare it away, but I seemed to provoked it even more and it attacked.
The funny part was that even when it attacked me, I wasn't scared. Instead, I had a willing acceptance of the inevitable.
Even when I did everything right, even when I'm ready for anything-- well, things still doesn't always happen the way it should and I'll be stronger because of it.
I've been looking more into spirit animals and interrupting the messages they bring. On one of the websites I came across this:
"Cougar-Puma-Mountain Lion: Assertion of growth, take charge, be strong, come unto your own power, defending yourself when needed, teaches how to leap into opportunities, helps balance when to be gentle and when to assert your energy more forcefully. Cougar teaches strength and grace, responsibilities and balanced leadership. "
I'm not sure how my life will change with a new apartment and a new sense of independence. I know there will be challenges. Right now though, I feel a sense of power and excitement on this new stage in my life. Watch out world- Here I come....
