Sekhmet Patron of: divine retribution, vengeance, and conquest.
Appearance: a woman with the head of a lioness.
Description: Sekhmet means "The Mighty One," and she was one of the most powerful of the gods and goddesses. She was the goddess who meted out divine punishment to the enemies of the gods and of the pharaoh. In this capacity she was called the "Eye of Ra." She also accompanied the pharaoh into battle, launching fiery arrows into battle ahead of him. Sekhmet could also send plagues and disease against her enemies, but was sometimes invoked to avoid plague and cure disease.
Sekhmet's capacity for destruction is well-documented. In one story, Ra sends her to punish those mortals who have forgotten him and she ends up nearly destroying the entire human race. Only the cleverness of Ra stops her rampage before it consumes every living thing.
Sekhmet's action is always the right, or 'appropriate action'. When She destroys it is an appropriate destruction or vengence. It is never chaotic or random. It is always what is needed at the time.
Heart Break... It hurts to see you walk away. For admit it or not, you were an important part of my life and the time we shared will forever be a part of me. So even though I realize that it was never meant to be, still, it hurts.

This is called poi, and this is a very good example :)
Poi is a form of juggling, or object manipulation with balls (does not necessarily need to be balls) on ropes, held in the hands and swung in various circular patterns, comparable to club-twirling. It originated with the Mâori people of New Zealand (the word poi means "ball" in Mâori). Women and men used it to increase flexibility, strength, and coordination. It developed into a traditional performance art practiced mostly by women.
Friendship is a priceless gift. It can't be bought nor sold. It's weight is far more valuble than a mountain made of gold. Gold is cold and lifeless. It can neither seen nor heard. And in times of trouble it is powerless to cheer. It has no ear to listen, nor heart to understand. It can't bring you comfort or reach out a helping hand. So when you ask God for a Gift, Be thankful if he sends not diamonds, Gold, or riches, But the love of a real true friend... SEND TO ALL YOUR TRUE FRIENDS....
