Here Lies the Snow Leopard...

...curled, covered, camoflauged in the deep snow of the Himalayas; wrapped in her tail is an old weathered book - faded and cracked leather binding, pages flimsy with age peeking out from the cover.

"I came for the book" you say.

The Snow Leopard scoffs, breath misting the frozen air in an irritated huff. "So you have," she sighs.

She unfurls her thick protective tail, slowly, as if the action pains her; and in a way it does - to reveal this tightly kept secret to you.

You bow to her gratefully - you've ached to uncover the book for so long now...

You pick it up gingerly, as if cradling a limp sleeping baby. Finally! The mystery is right in your own hands.

Tenderly, you lift the worn cover and read...

Which Topics Do You Want to Hear About?

Let's - !!

Let's move
Like the beings we were meant to be
Brought up from the dust of the earth
Voyaging the sea

Let's rise
From the depths of our tragic separation
Divided by the physical
Smash the discrimination

Let's sing
Unrestrained from the bottom of our souls
Uncensored, undisturbed
Like the chickadees and orioles

Let's cry
For all the hurt, all the suffering, the pain
All the widows, the terminal
The homeless in the rain

Let's breathe
A sigh of relief, a breath of fresh air
Feeling free as a breeze
And let down our hair

Let's love
With feeling that's genuine and pure
Care about one another
Soothe, comfort, and assure

Let's try
To do everything in the world
That we possibly can
To improve this life for every woman and man
