It is not brute force, or commanding and demanding respect.... you do not need to scare people to be strong, as the Fool learns!
"In the midst of a green and verdant plain, the Fool walks alone. In the distance, he sees a woman dressed in white. She has an aura of Strength. As he approaches, he sees that she wears a wreath of roses upon her brow, and with small and gentle hands, and without a word, she closes the gaping jaws of a massive wolf. “Woman! What are you doing!” cries the Fool. The woman silently places a finger to her lips, calling for silence. Her eyes hold a strange power, sensual and subtle, a calming energy which others react to in kind. The Fool is mesmerized, and understands the woman’s silent pantomime. "This is a picture of power, it shows the power of love. Love alone can conquer wrath. Hatred feeds hatred. Love feeds love. A grounded and centered energy subdues discord, laying the path for harmony and cooperation.” The woman takes the Fool’s trembling hand; laying it upon the jaws of the beast, it becomes calm and steady. The Fool’s heart becomes calm and steady. Silently, the Fool thanks the strange, strong and gentle woman, and he walks away from the wolf unafraid."
