White Tiger Lily Meaning

White Tiger Lily. These three words have been with me for awhile.  To me, they seem to sum up the essence of how God created woman, or maybe just me, or maybe a few others, or maybe the core of all women of the world.  I'm not sure.  Or maybe it just represents an image of what it is like trying to be a godly woman in a messed-up world.  Or maybe it represents the internal battle going inside us that is constantly trying to keep our ferocity and fragility in some sort of love-able balance.  Or how to harness each and channel them into love.  I love the contrast in the term "tiger lily".  How is a large wild animal the descriptor of a delicate flower?  And yet both have a beauty and rarity and grace and incredible strength about them.  Strength.  The flower may seem the fragile part, but think about the immense strength it has to survive the elements of nature that it does.  Grace.  The tiger may seem the tougher part, but think about the rhythm and grace of a tiger's gait and gallop.  And not just any tiger. A WHITE tiger.  With blue eyes.  Blue mysterious eyes that mesmerize you.  beautiful...

The list of analogies is endless, but it reminds me so much of being a woman.  Or at least learning how to be one.  Learning to be more and more the way God created me and would have me fit into this world for His needs.  A journey I think takes a lifetime. So I guess this blog is an invitation of some sort to join me.

I will probably write entirely too much. Technology has opened up many new ways of communicating and expressing and questioning and learning and sharing and I've decided be a part of this whole new conversation. So please comment, because I don't want this to be a one-way conversation.  Plus, I'll probably write way too much.
