Wednesday, June 3, 2009 Mirrors of Our Soul During this episode Teresa Hahn will continue reading "The Lioness Tale" for our listeners. You will remember that in the beginning of our story, our Lioness remembers who she is at the level of her soul, of her true nature. But with traumatic wounding she loses contact with that Truth and begins to identify with a limited view of herself which is only confirmed by the narrow view of her fellow captives and those who guard them. It is through her meeting with the Panther that Lioness finds someone who can mirror back her own essential wholeness. Though Lioness still has much to suffer, her friendship with the Panther is the beginning of awakening the liberating spirit within her. If you missed the first reading of the book, you can listen to it by going to the May 20th episode entitled, Love, Serve, Remember.

The Lioness Tale

By Diane Pendola

The Lioness Tale, inspired by ancient storytelling traditions, addresses the problems of living under conditions that are hostile or indifferent to the inner life. How easy it is to identify with the Lioness of this tale! We know what it is to long for the intimacy of a caring voice, to be embraced by someone who believes that our happiness and our humanness are important.

In this work of visionary fiction, there are lessons that will change your life. Just as the author has dared much in the telling, you must dare much in the reading. You'll share the grief of the Lioness' loss both of love and her own freedom. But the reward you'll share is renewed inner strength and a sense of vulnerability by which you will get back your own life and celebrate it."
