Calm Command over Fierce Energy

A gentle lady with refinement calmly holds the mouth of a ferocious lion, taming him with her strength and grace. He trustfully lays his powerful head on her lap.

Overcoming Instincts

Both the lady and the lion have conquered their natural instincts - to flee or tear apart - and by overcoming these instincts, they reach a new spiritual communion. They need no protection from the outside world or each other.

Trust in Harmony

Though the lion could rip the girl apart with his formidable fangs, she is unafraid. His natural urge to kill has been suppressed. In turn, she has controlled her instinctive fear of the beast. This is true courage: not the absence of fear, but the strength to go beyond it and embrace the unknown.

Harnessing Strength with Grace

Do not be afraid to evaluate your strengths and use them wisely. You can be strong without being overpowering.

Key Ideas

Overcoming base instincts, overcoming fears, uniting two opposing forces in harmony.
