THE LION
A Poetic Tribute to the King of the Jungle
The lion, the king of the jungle,
With a roar that echoes and rumble,
His mane, a crown of gold,
A sight to behold.
He strides with grace,
Through his kingdom's space,
His eyes, the windows to his soul,
A story, they tell of power and control.
The lion, so fierce and wild,
Yet in his gaze, a certain mild,
He rules with pride and might,
Guiding his pack through the darkest night.
His roar echoes through the land,
A symphony of power and command,
The lion, a true ruler,
A force to be reckoned with, forever cooler.
In the African savannah, he reigns,
His kingdom, a place of beauty and pains,
But in the heart of every lion,
Lies a spirit, fierce and unyielding, a true shining star shining.

Occupying Liminal Spaces
In his groundbreaking work, Man's Search for Meaning, Viktor Frankl, an Austrian neurologist, psychologist, and Holocaust survivor, advanced an idea central to his philosophy of freedom and finding meaning and purpose: "Between stimulus and response, there is a space. In this space, it is our power to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom” (Frankl). Like a threshold, that liminal space Frankl describes is the territory of haiku—a betwixt and between world brimming with potential. But in our mad rush towards whatever beckons, we often fail to notice the moments where life undergoes subtle changes amid the noise and commotion of the world.

One of the Crazy Things Rich People Do That's Scary To Think About
They impress us, and sometimes they scare us, but the ultra-rich are always interesting. Some of their famous activities include buying yachts too big to move through channels, buying ridiculously priced cars that could feed the homeless of New York for weeks, and their expensive tastes in sex workers.
