Power and Vulnerability
Photo generated using Bing Copilot.

Within this narrative, I would like to draw your attention to the delicate harmony between power and vulnerability within us all. I want you to notice the striking juxtaposition presented in the image, observing two contrasting forces: the woman, representing humanity, and the lion, symbolizing the wilderness of the soul.

Stop for a minute and ask yourself. What do you see?

If you observe the power dynamics, you may be on the right path. The woman’s presence does indeed exude elegance and serenity, while the lion emanates raw strength and resilience. Their proximity is, by far, the metaphor highlighting the delicate balance between power and vulnerability.

This opens the next question: how do power dynamics play out in our lives?

Do we see ourselves like the woman, relying on intellect and finesse, or the lion, relying on primal intuitions?
