howl like the good wolf you are

 I found this somewhere out on the web.  I thought that it was pretty fantastic so i'm puttin it here for you all to enjoy as well.  I'm off to Fukue for a fantastic matsuri today and should be enjoying some sumo and festival food as you all enjoy Saturday night cocktails back in the states.  Be well...



One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson
about a battle that goes on inside all people.


He said, “My son, the battle is between two
wolves that dwell inside each and everyone of us.


“One is Evil.
It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed,
arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority,
lies, false pride, superiority and ego.


The other is Good.
It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility,
kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity,
truth, compassion and faith.”


The grandson thought about it for
a minute, and then asked his grandfather:


“Which wolf will win ?”


The old Cherokee simply replied:
“The one you feed.”
