This beautiful girl and I made quite the connection at the DC zoo. Everywhere I went around the pen, she followed me with her stare. I left and came back after 20 minutes, just to test a theory. There she was, in the same spot, sensing my approach and turning her head specifically to me, again smiling so wondrously. The other lionesses kept to themselves. Not this one. I didn’t feel like her next potential dinner. I felt the divine glowing all around her and channeling to me. Happiness is.
