My older son has been thinking about getting a tattoo for a while now. As he is the lead singer of the “soon-to-be famous like Led Zeppelin” rock and soul band The Lionyls, he figures it goes with his image. Just so you know, he makes me add that “famous like Led Zeppelin” qualifier every time I talk about his music. It’s good to dream big, my son. If anybody is crazy-dedicated, crazy-talented, and just plain crazy enough with crazy lion-like hair to make it, it’s you.

When he asked my husband and I what we thought about his plan for the body art, we said, “Do whatever you want. You’re an adult. Just don’t get anything tattooed on your face. You might regret those death tears or that spider web at some point.” And then we both laughed – hard.

Truthfully though, neither one of us is opposed to him getting a tattoo. We both have a few of our own. Thus, the problem for my son is not getting our approval, it’s coming up with the cash to pay for the damn thing. You see, as a just-starting-out musician – sorry, “soon-to-be rock star” – he has very little money.

“I’ll do it soon then,” he said, hearing our response but promptly forgetting his financial situation.

“A good tattoo can cost quite a bit, you know,” I cautioned. “And you don’t want to skimp on something like that. I’ve seen some pretty bad tattoos in my day.” To illustrate my point, I showed him this picture that I just happened to run across while searching up “lion tattoos” on Google.

“Can I borrow $1,200?” my son replied.

“Are you kidding? You’ll have to save that money yourself. But I could probably help you come up a few designs of your own in order to make it cheaper,” I snickered.

As there are always a bunch of people freeloading at my house – mostly the boys’ friends – I knew help was not too far away. I simply went downstairs and interrupted a fairly intense game of Call Of Duty. “Hey, you there,” I said to the closest available boy. “Draw me a lion. Earn your keep.” I handed him a whiteboard and erasable marker. “Do this for me, and I might let you have a drink of water from the tap if you get thirsty.” Dutifully, he did his best.

Afterward, I forced every single person on that couch to play my little game. This is what I got…

Mufasa's last words (or those of his ghost, rather) to his son as he fades into the celestial background leave an echo both in Simba's heart and in ours. After the horror of the stampede that killed his father, his time away in the jungle, and his mental conversion to the "Hakuna Matata" lifestyle, these words fall heavily on Simba's conscience. "No worries" is a great escape tool to utilize from time to time, but we cannot walk away from our true identity. We can change our present and thereby our future as well, but our past is part of us-- it is an intrinsic, indelible part of our composition that, try as we may, will never be erased. Responsibility seems to be a quality extremely lacking in our society today. Who are we? Can we even remember?

"Remember who you are."
"Remember who you are."

The Great Circle of Life

As Mufasa explains to a young Simba, "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." We have inherited this earth not to squander nor destroy, but to cherish and cultivate for the generations to come. Upon seeing the desolation that is post-Scar Pride Rock, Timon mutters, "Sheesh! Talk about your fixer upper!" The world today is somewhat of a fixer upper, and only by keeping the future in mind while making decisions about the present will we be able to continue participating in that Great Circle of Life. In other words, we cannot eat all the antelope, metaphorically speaking. We must learn balance before we can learn peace.

The Pride Rock of the Future

By the end of the film, Pride Rock is once again beautiful and flourishing. Like the lessons we can take from this movie, it stands the test of time and continues on as a symbol of strength for future generations.
