My stuff didn’t get an airing until much later in life – it’s always always been just under the surface and but LionHeart strength comes from the innocence of having a bold and gentle little girlfriend when I was 5yrs old. The archetype is still a strong source of power. And I can still remember how she held my hand on the first day of school. Small Wonders, the serendipitous synchronicity, if only we knew how to recognise those moments more often – us lot here, I believe, have a head start we’ve evolved and gift is a better handle than curse.
