Nice description of two of natures beings the Lion and the Black Widow Spider. I read somewhere that the female does not kill the male everytime only when she desperately needs nourishment. Of course, we get so much misinformation now a days right. Sara

Oooh, this is great, John! Wasn't expecting to see the "black widow" reference pop up near the end. But in the animal kingdom, this is and always has been the "circle of life." By the way, "Circle of Life" was one of Elton John's best songs. It was written for "The Lion King." Love, Carolyn
