“Maverick” Mavericks are made in the silence spent where freedom is kept locked tight in solitary confinement moments melting down visceral pain through love and loveless madness fierce swords are grown from what’s left of the shattered Heart’s core self-belief taken up again intellect fox cunning running the gauntlets between the dishonour guards in Hell’s burning rain Majesties are silver spoon and coddled born Mavericks are delivered from hot kitchens and cool as milk made to lead Warriors Brave through The Storm Mavericks are made to reign (LadyLabyrinth/2019) "I am the master of my sea" Maverick An unorthodox or independent-minded person.

the restless sea spills itself upon a barren shore without concern for the grains of sand that fill the palm of a hand

It's amazing what can be borne from spent sentences in time where grains of sand fall slowly through fingers used as swords.

“This is a book about something”...

“They say Aslan is on the move- perhaps has already landed." And now a very curious thing happened. None of the children knew who Aslan was any more than you do; but the moment the Beaver had spoken these words everyone felt quite different. Perhaps it has sometimes happened to you in a dream that someone says something which you don't understand but in the dream it feels as if it has some enormous meaning- either a terrifying one which turns the whole dream into a nightmare or else a lovely meaning too lovely to put into words, which makes the dream so beautiful that you remember it all your life and are always wishing you could get into that dream again.

It was like that now. At the name of Aslan each one of the children felt something jump in its inside. Edmund felt a sensation of mysterious horror. Peter felt suddenly brave and adventurous. Susan felt as if some delicious smell or some delightful strain of music had just floated by her. And Lucy got the feeling you have when you wake up in the morning and realize that it is the beginning of the holidays or the beginning of summer.”

“Lucy buried her head in his mane to hide from his face. But there must have been some magic in his mane. She could feel lion-strength going into her. Quite suddenly she sat up. "I'm sorry, Aslan," she said. "I'm ready now." "Now you are a lioness," said Aslan. "And now all Narnia will be renewed.”

“Will the others see you too?" asked Lucy. "Certainly not at first," said Aslan. "Later on, it depends." "But they won’t believe me!" said Lucy. "It doesn’t matter.”

“Aslan is a lion- the Lion, the great Lion." "Ooh" said Susan. "I'd thought he was a man. Is he-quite safe? I shall feel rather nervous about meeting a lion"..."Safe?" said Mr Beaver ..."Who said anything about safe? 'Course he isn't safe. But he's good. He's the King, I tell you.”

“I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it.

I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand a word you say, but I shall still be your affectionate …..”

“He'll be coming and going" he had said. "One day you'll see him and another you won't. He doesn't like being tied down--and of course he has other countries to attend to. It's quite all right. He'll often drop in. Only you mustn't press him. He's wild, you know. Not like a tame lion.”

Marvericks are made, created, and spun in the exact right way. "fierce swords are grown from what’s left of the shattered Heart’s core" I had not thought of this, yet it exudes truth!
