What the leopard was doing
A leopard stalks or attacks
Stalking can give shape to a worry that has stayed just outside your attention. An attack makes the struggle direct. Think about what happened just before you became aware of the leopard and how you responded.
A leopard runs free
The movement can evoke independence or a skill you want to use more openly. Recall whether watching it gave you a sense of freedom or reminded you of something you have been holding back.
A leopard cub
The young animal can make a beginning feel both promising and exposed. Consider what you are developing that still needs protection or patience before it can stand on its own.
