Narrative: The lion cub looks rather cuddly and comfortable in the arms of this Guardian Spirit. But with the proper care, someday the lion cub will grow and become a sign of courage and a fierce dignity. The mother lion will nurture her young and be fearless as she protects them from danger. The roar of the male lion will shake the forests. This Guardian Spirit holds this promise comfortably. This Guardian protects the child so it too can grow and keep alive the spirit of the lion.

The Child Spirit keeps the spirit of the child alive and vibrant in everyone. The truly wise person finds room in life for the spirit of the child and so the wise person, no matter what age, can play, trust, grow, recover from mistakes. The healthy society loves and treasures its children. It holds and embraces them. It comforts them. A wise society listens to its children, pays careful attention to them. The wise spiritual tradition recognizes that the child bears within itself a certain divine quality that often disappears in adults. This Child Spirit Image invites you to welcome and honor the spirit of the Child in society and in the heart of every everyone.
