Wolf Memories

 

An interesting thing happens to humans when they hear a wolf howl; they respond.  Sometimes with fear and usually with an intense longing to be free.  In fact, humans like the sound of the wolf so much that the howls and yips are now incorporated in to much music.  

One of my friends believes that it is because we all have wolf memories.  He thinks that we have some wolf mixed into our genes.   His reasons are:

• Both humans and wolves are attracted to the full moon.
• According to legend, humans become more wolf-like at the full moon.
• Humans like to have wolves around, and dogs and wolf dogs are common pets.
• A wolf looks into your soul, and your soul recognizes the wolf.
• Wolves, although they live in wild places, are drawn to humans as much as humans are drawn to wolves.

What are your thoughts?

Wolf Insights

Wolf drops by from time to time to share some insights.  Although regarded as a predator, and therefore something to be fearful around, Wolf is quite gentle when she is treated with respect.  That is her first insight.

The natural order of all things is to separate into levels of dominance or seniority or skills.  Humans do not follow this natural order.  Often the weakest, the least skilled, and the thoughtless become leaders or seconds.  They are careless with Nature and with life.  Trust them not.

Keep the pack small.  When the pack is small, you are more mobile and can follow the food more easily.  Larger packs are more work and are more likely to give the leader trouble.  A kill does not feed as many and there is more greed. 

Train the young.  The youngest and weakest wolf is trained in the way to fend for itself or for another if that is what is called for.  I see your young and know that most cannot fend for themselves and certainly will not care for another.  This erodes the power of the pack and the species.

Hunt the sure thing.  It is not in our Nature to go after the biggest and the strongest.  The chase simply will wear us out!  We are caretakers and help keep the herd animals strong.  We take the weakest and let the herd keep its strong to lead and to breed.
