Do you ever feel that there is something inside you, something that is a part of you that is not human? I believe that in each of us there is an animal, one that epitomizes some part of our personalities. We all have one, it is just a matter of getting in touch with it. Some have more than one sharing the space behind their eyes and in their soul. There may be a real animal that correlates with this spiritual one, a pet perhaps. I have two, one is a leopard, she represents the powerful, sensual, and aggressive parts of my nature. She is what can be seen moving behind my eyes when I am aroused, angered, stressed, or pushed too far. She is a powerful, graceful, and deadly predator, padding around on silent paws. The other part of my nature is a fiery red mare. She is actually a real horse as well, a wise, intelligent, intuitive creature who has been my friend and confidant for many a year. She represents the part of my soul that is creative, joyful, sensitive and intuitive. She is near the surface when I am happy; prancing around, kicking and bucking, with her tail and head flung high. For a long time now they have both been silent, brooding, unhappy with how I was allowing myself and them to be reduced to something that was but a shadow of my true self. No more. I am going to regain all that I have lost, I will be whole again. They are both pleased, the cat in her smug, satisfied way and the mare in her exuberance has been cavorting around in my soul for several days now. All will be right with the world, they are back, and they were missed.
