I am a shark.
I can commiserate and find home in the pack that surrounds me.
I find solace in my solitude. I may disappear for a while, but I am not leaving you behind.
I am both a pack animal and a loner.
I am loyal and constant.
I am fearless yet careful.
I am stubborn and strong-willed.
The night ignites me.
I am an observer beneath the surface, watching life sometimes as a wallflower on the ocean floor.
I will protect you. I will fight for you…strength heightened, awareness intensified. I will venture for you. I will feed and nurture you.
I am often misunderstood. People have come up with their own definitions of my who, what, and why.
I can be kind, sensitive, and gentle. I can also hurt and be hurt. I am capable of great damage and incredible repair.
I am deeply submerged into the world. Completely immersed in life.
I am alert. I see. I think. I feel. I perceive.
My instincts are acute. Intuitions are potent.
You won’t hear me coming, but my purpose is powerful.
I am not afraid of the dark. I move gently through the darkness–it is not blinding or crippling.
I will eat everything, digest and process it all. No experience is wasted.
I will trust you with discretion.
I move with motive and caution. Watching from all angles, protecting my [he]art.
I am a secure wanderer.
No matter how far I travel, I know where my home lies. I know where I belong.
I am a shark.
I am strong, but I am not invincible. I am fierce, frail, and wonderfully made.
You are very creative. Shark is not the first animal that comes to mind for a young woman but then again a Nobel-prize winner wrote a beautiful prose-poem about a donkey. Peace.
