Words of Wolf Wisdom

"Wolves may feature in our myths,
�our history, our dreams.
�But they have their own future,
�their own loves, their own ��dreams to fulfill."

��~~ Anthony Miles

A Wolf's Point of View

"I am a Wolf
�I am as old as the mountains I call home.
�I have seen mountains grow from small hills,
��valleys form from small ravines
��and rivers born of trickling streams.
�I have walked with the great ones of eons ago
�The Great Mammoth, Saber Tooth Tigers, and many
��others who have been long lost.....
�I have seen the beginning of mankind.

I am Wolf.
�I am a predator
�A hunter
�I hunt for food
�I do not collect trophies to be mounted on the
�� walls of my Den.
�I do not hurt for enjoyment, but out of necessity..
��For Survival.
�I hunt to feed my children...
�So they can one day walk upon Mother Earth
��And become part of the Circle of Life.

I am Wolf.
�I have watched for many years my hunting grounds
��diminish....
�Trees replaced by buildings...
�Game replaced by humans.
�I have been driven highter and higher into the
��mountains...
�Yet the humans still come.
�And I'm driven even further from the hunting grounds
��of my father's father,
�And his father's before him.
�Yet, I survive.
��My children survive.

I am Wolf
�I am a loyal, devoted, and loving parent.
�Our children are our future...
�Just as human children are the future of
��all human beings.
�I am protective of my children
�And take responsibility of their nurturing
��as seriously as any human parent.
�I provide food for my children and provide
��them with a safe home.
�Until they are ready to walk their own path.

I am Wolf �I do not choose to hunt in the presence of humans
�But I have been given no other choice.
�My land has been taken from me.
�And, now so shall my life....
�And the lives of my children, and in doing so...
��Our future is doomed...
�We will go the way of the old ones...
��Only in memories of distant pasts shall we
���live again...

I am Wolf
�Wolves are beauty without vanity..
�Innocence without naivety..
�We are ones of the Creator's children,
��And deserve to live our lives in peace..
�We were created for a purpose..
��And it was not to be hunted down and slaughtered

I am Wolf
�Tonight, I will lay and sleep with my mate and
��our children...
�This may be the last night we will share together,
��upon Mother Earth.
�For tomorrow, many of our brothers and sisters
��will be slaughtered.
�And perhaps ourselves, as well...
�Our songs will be only a distant memory...
��Fading into the past.

I am Wolf.

Wolf Credo

Respect the elders
Teach the young
Co-operate with the pack
Play when you can
Hunt when you must
Rest in between
Share your affections
Voice your feelings
Leave your mark

�Then, and only then, will the wolf's true
��destiny emerge."
