The dignity of the leopard, originally uploaded by Thorsten Becker.

You did not capture me, I graciously allowed you to take me.
You watch me because I allow myself to be seen, otherwise I am the shadow.
You believe you are free but your soul is bound, I see it in your eyes.
You search all your life but my heart has found long ago the meaning of freedom.
Nothing breaks the dignity of the jaguar, for I am your teacher.
