Bear – The Face Of Silence
The bear does not speak.
It simply walks, quietly.
Deep within the forest, where moonlight falls like drops of memory, it appears — steady, solitary, and full of thought.
People often see the bear as a symbol of strength.
But the Native people know: the bear is a lesson in silence.
A lesson in retreating from the noise of the world to listen to the voice within.
When winter arrives, the bear does not resist.
It does not struggle.
It enters its den, curls up, and… sleeps.
But this is not the sleep of escape — it is the sleep of acceptance.
It allows time to pass, allows wounds to heal, quietly, in the dark.
Human life is no different.
We push forward, tense, afraid to be left behind, afraid of being weak.
Yet sometimes, it is in the pause — in the letting go,
in the stillness — that we truly grow.
The bear teaches us:
Strength isn’t always about fighting.
Sometimes, the greatest strength is in turning inward,
facing yourself honestly,
and emerging — after the long winter —
with a heart reborn.
