    Great photo! *sigh* Delos…such an amazing place! Takes me back to my month in Greece. This is a really powerful place to visit I highly recommend everyone try to get there at some point in their lives! And very fitting for the Leo New Moon!

    I am noticing a lot of lions on Planet Waves these past couple of days – thanks guys. I decided to do a search for some lyrics and found the song from the Wizard of Oz: Be A Lion.
    Here are some of the lyrics:
    “If on courage
    You must call
    Then just keep on tryin’
    And tryin’
    And tryin’
    You’re a lion
    In your own way
    Be a lion
    Come on be a lion.”

    Yeah that’s what I think I do today. Call on my courage and be a lion.

    I am lion, standing strong and tall – hear me roar!
    Raaarrhh.
    ;-)
