Don’t mistake my softness with petals
my silence with the coolness of lake
my desire to avoid confrontation as
a proof of my gentle, tenderness.
Have you observed a flame?
How soft it looks and glows with light!
When you blow it it sways, grab it it ducks
as if it is trying to save itself from you.
If you take that as a symptom of weakness
you are inviting your own destruction
the strongest powers in this world are often
disinterested in any type of confrontation.
They often shy away from combats
not because they are weak.
But because they know if they rage
they will turn their opponent in ashes.

dearest hb,
yes a tigress hides her claws when she is with her mate or children, but same claws can kill.
so people should never take silence or avoiding confrontation as weakness.
bestest wishes.
