Lioness is calling to the heart of humanity
because she’s not able to raise her cubs
the well-being of new generations is in question
in this inside-out upside-down backwards spinning world
Lioness is calling to the heart of humanity
not blaming and shaming
not down-putting and dehumanizing
not with warring words
because that would only mimic and perpetuate the out-of-balance ways in the world
Lioness is calling to the heart of humanity
because she knows in our hearts
in our genuine human nature
in our ancestry and sacred designs
we hold the knowings of how to live in balance with ourselves, each other, and all life on earth
Feel her lion-hearted call
touching our spirits, creative minds, and instinctive nature
awakening colorful, ingenious, simple and sweet visions
for collaborating, crafting relationships, and regenerating balance
for protecting and watching over the generations now and to come
for loving ourselves and each other into a thriving existence
Lioness is calling to the heart of humanity
because healing and change will flourish
when seeded and rooted and held and nourished
in the very center of our hearts

Hi Joanne—I hope your amazing work continues in this new year of 2025. I was a friend of your mama’s from pickleball–jogging your memory. The poem was inspiring and true. Be well,
