The Wolf

The wolf is my teacher. She shows me when I need to be free. She shows me when I need to take my own path. She shows me when I need to come home. She shows me where I belong. She is the source of my strength. She is the source of my emotion. She has a story to tell me. She has a quest for me. Her quest is that I learn how to lead a life where my freedom is not compromised by my desire to be apart of my pack or to find a mate.

She wants me to claim the strength that comes from being who I am. She wants me to let my senses guide me. She wants me to listen to the wisdom of my heart and the wisdom of my intellect. She wants me to see that neither can be told apart. She wants me to follow my dreams with steadfast passion.

The wolf tells me to not be afraid of loneliness. The wolf tells me to embrace the darkness of night. The wolf tells me to embrace the vast emptiness of possibility. She tells me I must find my inner power. I must find myself alone. My wolf wants me to discover my inner howl!

She tells me to trust my instincts. To trust my feelings and emotions. She tells me to trust myself. She tells me to listen to my own voice. She tells me to follow my path. She tells me to know my path. She tells me to be determined.

The wolf tells me that my life involves two forces, and that I must find a balance between the two. The wolf tells me that there are lessons to be learned at every crossroad, and that the most important lesson is in directing my own learning.

My wolf is telling me to respect and protect my territory. She is telling me to be guarded from outside influence. She is telling me to be true to my thoughts and desires.

The wolf tells me to dance in the face of fear. The wolf tells me to play at my work, and work at my play. The wolf tells me to be confident in the length of my stride. She tells me to know my destiny, and to never succumb to anything less than fulfilling it.

The wolf tells me to be a keen observer of my surroundings. The wolf tells me to chart new territories. To explore a new neck of the woods. The wolf tells me that home is where my heart is. The wolf tells me that I belong here, not because of my experience with this place but because I am a Wolf.

The wolf inside me is here to heal a torn heart, a limping stride, and a tame spirit. The wolf is here to guide me on a journey through a forest of unknown beasts. The wolf is here to show me my purest nature. She is here inside me. She is my strength. She is my compassion. She is my humility. She is my passion. She is my spirit. I hear her. I will howl alone in the dark.
