It wasn't the first time we met, he had been hanging around all summer and we had spoke on 3 or 4 previous occasions. The first time we met he looked at me as if to say "This Is My World, you may pass through if you like, but remember, This Is My World". For two days he stood, on the second I was prepared. At first it was not clear why, but his secrets would soon be revealed. We spoke twice that day, in the morning and early afternoon. It was only on our second encounter that he revealed to me his secret. Yes, beneath powerful paws, muscle and inches of claws.... a Kill! Amazing. He let me know again, "This Is My World". He has no gripe with me nor you nor anyone, just to survive, he is a survivor! There have been few moments I stood in the presence of something that knows no fear, but on this occasion, I witnessed something truly fearless. What would it be like to know no fear, of anything? Yes big fella you are right, This Is Your World. I don't think I am lucky to have met you, I know I am. Your are nothing less than Magnificant and I am humbled and greatful for this moment. Until we meet again....
