Circle of Life
'Everything you see exists together in a delicate balance. As king, you need to understand that balance and respect all the creatures, from the crawling ant to the leaping antelope.
When we die, our bodies become the grass, and the antelope eat the grass. And so we are all connected in the great Circle of Life.'

I have a lot to say about this piece, but I can't find the right words. I will try though because I always tend to silence myself...
I went through many emotions as I worked through this piece, so much love and nostalgia, a sense of awe but also grief regarding nature, letting go of childhood and former friends whom I know share the same feelings for TLK as I do...
even though that's where all the kindred spirits were. It eventually worked out and I met connections in RL that really saved my life in times of turmoil at home and in myself.
During covid I began to fully focus on making a living with art, and while I love it, it also made me feel more alone again and it is not something a partner can and should solve,
