So once in Israel love came to us incarnate, stood in the doorway between two worlds, and we were all afraid.

Annie Dillard

I was the lion who forced you to join with Aravis. I was the cat who comforted you among the houses of the dead. I was the lion who drove the jackals from you while you slept.
