Poem Artwork

The call of the wild
set me off to explore
if I had become too mild
more than I was before


In the mountains of snow
the haunting howl of a wolf
made me want to know
if I was fooling myself


I realized I had become tame
unwilling to take a dare
it made me feel some shame
that I had given in to fear


So the next time you see me
riding a wolf bareback
you'll know for a certainty
I returned to the proper track


Transformation time is here
Moving now at a knowing pace
Learned the art of being where
One can be in a presence of grace

I always said that one would never experience there full potential in life if we did not go out on a limb, take a risk, a walk down a different path, etc. I have found that many times that I took a chance or tried something a bit different than usual I had a wonderful experience, especially if my gut was saying do it...firm believer in that, if the gut says no, I won't go or I won't do it...great write beautiful picture...my motto is I dare to be different...after all we are all unique, if we were not it would be a boring world.
Blessings,

The white arctic wolf looks just like mine. I have five Ellesmere arctic white wolves fenced in my eleven mountain acres. I raised them from cubs and have sold over 12 litters (96) cubs to battered women for healing purposes who needed a lifestyle change. I give wolf school for six weeks before the women can qualify, have adequate, federal-controlled facililites, as wolves are illegal in 12 states, before they can purchase a cub. It is when the imprint process begins. You can never domesticate a wolf, only socialize it. I pull my cubs from the mother at birth and bottle feed them before they open their eyes so the first thing they do see is a human. My male wolf Cassiar is a descendent from the wolf who starred in Grizzly Adams...you picked a spiritual totem, Eileen. You've been good to me the past year Den mother, raised a few cubs of your own...Blessed Be...
