A black shadow dropped down into the circle. it was bagheera the black panther, inky black all over, but with the panther markings showing up in certain lights like the pattern of watered silk. everybody knew bagheera, and nobody cared to cross his path, for he was as cunning as tabaqui, as bold as the wild buffalo, and as reckless as the wounded elephant. but he had a voice as soft as wild honey dripping from a tree, and a skin softer than down.

More From Rudyard Kipling

In the cross is salvation; in the cross is life; in the cross is protection against our enemies; in the cross is infusion of heavenly sweetness; in the cross is strength of mind; in the cross is joy of spirit; in the cross is excellence of virtue; in the cross is perfection of holiness. there is no salvation of soul, nor hope of eternal life, save in the cross.

Hear and attend and listen; for this is what befell and be-happened and became and was, o my best beloved, when the tame animals were wild. the dog was wild, and the horse was wild, and the cow was wild, and the sheep was wild, and the pig was wild -as wild as wild could be - and they walked in the wet wild woods by their wild lones. but the wildest of all the wild animals was the cat. he walked by himself and all places were alike to him

The universe is circles within circles, and everything is one circle, and all the circles are connected to each other. each family is a circle, and those family circles connect together and make a community, and the community makes its circle where it lives on the earth. it (the community) cares for that part (of the earth) but cares for it as a circle - which is to say in a cooperative and egalitarian way, where everybody is cared for, and everybody is respected.
