L'Ours
The Quatrain
Conseil de l'ours : Il faut toujours penser Avant de parler, Jour aux jaloux échapper.
The bear counsels strength under restraint: think before you speak, and step away from envy.
The Archetype
Advice to think before speaking and step away from envy — strength that doesn't need to prove itself by being loud. This is ego-strength in its healthiest form, secure enough to stay quiet until quiet stops serving.
A Practice For Today
Hold your response for one full breath today before speaking in a moment that would normally provoke you.
