In my dream I was daydreaming on a train smiling by the thought that maybe this Venice Lion wasn’t a He-Lion, but a She-Lion: Bastet, because in its origins the solar goddess Bastet, wasn’t represented as a domestic cat, but as a fierce protector lioness.

Yoko: have you checked if it has some male attributes between the rear legs?
She is a Winged Lioness, so she’s ready to follow Yoko’s instruction: FLY
She is in gold and feathers: the perfect outfit to perform last Yoko’s dance-remix number one hit “I’m Not Getting Enough”. I hope this lioness have heard the whole lyrics of the song and understand it in the right way; if don’t, she can be very very dangerous.

This Lioness usually appears in Venice with an open book in which you can read ”PAX TIBI MARCE” (Peace to you Mark). A pacifist from 1177 or before!

Saint Mark is represented with this Lioness, because he started his gospel with a Joan the Baptist dressed with a Lioness fur, and in the Christian imaginary that Lioness fur represents the voice of one calling in the dessert, that creates the idea of a roaring in the void.

Hasn’t been like that to Yoko, until now?

Love You! <3

Daniel Birnbaum is completely right when he says that your art will remain a source of inspiration for generations to come; although for me your main revolution is your calling for overcome fears and suffering in our daily lives.

You have created a queen size silver bell for tolling for peace in the world as the main task to be accomplished, but in your path you have bring to life so many simple wonderful little bells, one for everyone of us, tickling us to live our own lives, in the way we wish to, forgetting about preliminary concepts or models imposed on us.

It’s a joy to get to hear your wishes, and be able to find all the fragile glass keys hidden in your works that allow us to go opening inside and outside worlds, skies and universes, washing away negative complexes, guilty feelings, sadness and fears in the making.

Please, don’t forget us no matter how many fast trains, airplanes, rockets, or starships you could take. We are the simple and little ones that always love you and always be here ready to share your dance.
