An old man is teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy.
"It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego." He continued, "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too."
The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?"
The old man simply replied, "The one you feed."
This is a gray wolf by the name of Maiken. She arrived at JCW with another wolf cub his age, but Maiken was pretty much terrified of anything that moved, include me, to my dismay. She just sat in a corner all day, shaking and made no progress with people. So the staff at JCW put him in with two adult wolves, one male and one female and they hit it off. Now, Maiken is completely different.! She gets along great with the pack and isn't too afraid of people anymore. It is really heartwarming.
This shot was taken from a ridiculous distance so I am surprised it turned out. The shadow effect occurred with the sunset, but I accentuated it in Photoshop.
I guess I could say that this one is for all the wolf fans who watch me - I admit that my gallery's selection of quality wolf photos is quite poor. Moreover, the quantity isn't something to write home about either. It certainly doesn't reflect how much I like them.

... I will have to tell you something now honestly... that "Cherokee" legend doesn't really exist. While a nice thought, it doesn't exist in Cherokee lore... someone must have added that in there to make it more "believable", but in no way does the Cherokee belief system believe that about the human soul. XD
This photo always made my eyes bulge.. as stated before, it's hard to believe it isn't a manipulation- it is really a photo worth a million words.
