Another take on a relationship: A Lion reunites with the woman who saved him.

by Linda ~ March 15th, 2008

This video shows the extraordinary response of an African lion who reunites with the woman who rescued him, saved him and then when he got to big, found a home for him.  It is an extraordinary display between these two who very evidently had a heart connection.

How would it be for you if you greeted people with such a sense of joy?  How it would be for that person?  Who have you taken for granted lately that you would like to acknowledge for their help, support or even that he or she made you laugh. I have a friend who in response to my attempt to get together or talk on the phone has responded with emails days after my attempt, by writing how very busy she is.  What are we doing that takes up so much time?  Why are we not doing it with the people we love and care about?  I am also at fault with this.  My to do list is the all important ruler of my life.  It is so much easier for me to cuddle up to my laptop then to reach out to a friend or family and set something up. 

The obvious affection and joy this lion showed to his rescuer and friend almost made me cry.  There is an unbreakable bond between these two.  Relationships make a life worth living.  We can do nothing without our relationsips.  We cannot make memories, experience joy, anger or love.  We just simply cannot “be” without loving, interesting, challenging people in our lives.
