The Vision of Harmony
A magnificent golden lion rests peacefully beside a gentle maiden. They are positioned under the open sky, needing neither shelter nor protection from the external world or from each other. Though the lion could tear the maiden apart with one strike of his mighty paw, she feels no fear.
The Power of Trust Over Force
The nobility of his heart is stronger than his instinct to destroy his prey. His natural urge to kill has been subdued by the maiden's gentle trust. She too has controlled the situation. Her subtle patience and love have restrained and guided his power.
True Courage Revealed
This controlled the lion's behavior and softened his instinct. The instinctive fear of the beast allows her to see the deep beauty of the creature. This is true courage; not the absence of fear, but the strength to step through it and accept the unknown.
Keywords
overcoming base instincts, conquering fears, uniting two opposing forces in harmony.
Visual Description
A young woman in a flowing pale dress and a wreath of white flowers leans close to a large, reclining lion, her hand resting on its mane. The lion appears calm and almost sleepy as she nuzzles his face, and both sit on a rocky slope with grasses in the foreground. Gentle hills and a distant pointed mountain rise under a soft sky behind them. An ornate gilded frame surrounds the scene and the Roman numeral VIII appears at the top and bottom of the card.
