The Gift Of Life

The Cougar was three-quarters of the way home when God's Grace arrived in the form of Brother John walking his bicycle accompanied by a Wolf. At first her eyes could not quite make out what the Wolf was never having seen one before. But when he spoke, it was in her native tongue and her heart understood even though her mind did not. Together with the Moose, they helped her to see that she had been allowing fear and anger to smother the light she came into the world with, making it easier for abusive powers to rob her of her birthright. She now had the inner resources to confront those powers disallowing further injury from the Bull and others like him. It had been three days now since she hid out in food and it felt good to be free from that addiction. Her legs were not as strong yet as they needed to be to stand completely on her own, but she was beginning to trust her instincts for survival. Her solitude had served her well. She knew she would be able to face whatever she was called upon to face from here on in.
