Bamboo Lion

about

The Lion entered the bamboo forest through the light casting a beam in the thickness, from the path clearing of man's walk to collect bamboo for their modest huts. The Jungle, she welcomed the Lion in her shadows so he may drink of her waters down past the human settlement. He drank and blessed her soil with his paws, which in turn made Man revere her even as the paw prints read the presence of a king. The Jungle spirit loved the stripes the bamboo stems cast on the lion's coat so dearly she gave him a new name: Tiger, and so he became. Tiger honored the gift of protection and remained within her bamboos, protecting her in return, and Man respected the balance, the beauty and this love story that protects everyone.

Agus' bamboo jungle home in Sumatra remains however man has cut through with greed and is now mining the land. Agus, a Leo star sign man returned to his jungle to find his tribal men mine, and mock him for picking bamboo when there is gold to take. He spoke and said the real gold is in the music this bamboo will create with his breath, enchanting men to their hearts, the real gold, he smiled.

We hope you can remember to treat others as you would onto yourself, but first remember to love your great self as a lion and we can remain in harmony by using love as the protective force.
