In Memoriam Cecil





In Memoriam Cecil


+
One day from out of the vast, trackless desert a proud lion 
appeared suddenly before Gerasimos’ cell. 
The great beast approached the hermit, 
bowed his tawny head and held out a huge paw.
The desert lion had come to stay. 
He joined the tiny,
 isolated community which consisted of the saint, 
a disciple and a donkey. 
Guided by the saintly hermit, 
man and beast lived together
 in perfect peace and harmony.
