This is a picture of a lioness and the baby gazelle she has adopted as her own in the Samburu Game Reserve in Nairobi. This is the third gazelle the lioness has adopted. The first was eaten by another lion. The second was taken away by a game warden when it started to starve because its gazelle mother was too spooked to nurse it. So far, the third one is doing fine, although no one can explain why.

Awesome, Electra. Flat-out awesome. It's weird, but this almost has me tearing up with joy at the hope that it represents. Thanks.

Tell me about it. I was following up on the latest headlines—more threats of war against Iraq, Israeli-Palestinian conflict, boy in Virginia shot by sniper—and this lioness has adopted yet another (her fifth) gazelle as her own.

This portrait of mother and child gives me hope that the viscious cycle of predator-prey is already/not yet broken.

Hey, I was gonna use this pic for something--the lion adopting the deer--but the pic won't show up anymore. I had to search for this thread; is it that it's been archived too long that the pics won't show anymore???

Thanks,

Keith

Keith, that's why this thread can be renamed: "Already not anymore.""

The pictures I linked to have been relocated by the server that was hosting them, so the links show up as broken. We live by faith, not sight.

Here is another set of species walking along a trail...notice how there is no fear and they are actually holding paws. Me thinks this is more of a rarity, but could possibly reflect more of that which is to come.

BBB,

Here is another set of species walking along a trail...

Oh my gosh, I about fell out of my chair! Hillarious! Yet, so theologically challenging! I mean, yeah, will we, like, all ever get along???

Great.

Oh, and AL, yes, I agree: Already and not. I mean, it's like trying to figure out John's "The beast you saw was, isn't anymore, will be, is the 8th of the seven, who's not now but was and will be . . . " Gads!

Thanks Electra! I can't walk by faith alone; it hurts like hek when I run into the doors around me!

Well, I'm off.
