She compared the relationship between men and women with a bow and arrow. The arrow is the penetrating energy which represents the masculine. The bow is the power, authority and direction that energy is used. Because the masculine energy is so penetrating, it must be tempered and directed with a loving, nurturing and caring energy, otherwise, we would be at war constantly.

I love this analogy. It describes what a perfect relationship should be like. Not all relationships are 100% perfect all the time but when you do reach a level of relationship where the divine feminine feel safe, heard, cherished and loved, it is indeed a wonderous gift.
