The Remarkable Return of Lions to Rwanda's Wilderness

Now, they're back, but their existence is on a knife-edge. This is a tale of hope, courage, failure, and rebirth for seven brave lions, destined to write the future of Rwanda.

It's about the culmination of a journey marked by introspection, sacrifice, and a longing for redemption.

Me!
Mr Brignall was concluding a Religious Education lesson. I was in Year 3 (or second grade in American terms), and the subject of perfection was the key topic. I think Mr Brignall had been relating to the philosophy that nature and Jesus and God do nothing uselessly. Everything happens for a perfected reason, even if it takes centuries to realise it - that idea. Of course, I wasn't really listening to this. I was captivated by the word perfect. I'd also noticed the blank sheet of paper placed before each of us in class and so my imagination was mass-producing possibilities of what I could draw on it. Mr Brignall tasked us with exactly what I had hoped; "Draw your perfect person," he instructed us, all the way from the peak of his spindly 6'4 stature. I knew straight away who my perfect person was;

Deny: A Dream Come True
Deny was a boy who never felt loved by his parents. His father was an alcoholic who often drank and gambled away their money. His mother was a depressed woman who often blamed and abused him for their misery. They never cared for him, nurtured him, or protected him. They never showed him any affection, attention, or appreciation. They never encouraged him, supported him, or praised him. They only criticized him, insulted him, or beat him.

My First PRIDE Parade
(This piece is for the unofficial challenge in Queer Vocal Voices. The prompt is "What Does Pride Mean To You".) I didn’t know what to expect at the first PRIDE parade I went to. The gay community where I live is…challenging for a lack of a better term. (I will save that story for another time.) Being just out of the closet, I had no idea what the point of the parade was. Until I did some research into why we have pride parades. That is when I learned of the Stonewall riots, and the first parade the year following the riots.

A Cake Too Beautiful
Have you ever seen a cake so immaculately decorated, you didn’t want to cut into it? Sometimes that’s how I feel about love. The idea of it can be too beautiful to actually dive in. I think that’s especially true of dating apps. Sometimes I like just knowing I COULD match, or simply knowing someone else wants to match with me. It’s the idea of being wanted. But that’s not love, because love requires that initial step of bravery, the ability to trust another person with my vulnerability. But first and more importantly, it’s about loving myself. Because if I don’t love myself, I can’t fully and truly love someone else. And that desire to be wanted would only be a reflection of my own insecurity and fear that I’m not worth loving. So it then becomes easier to say no than to say goodbye.
