This is a fantastic poem Regis. Have you ever read the book "Steppenwolf?" One of my favorites. Talks about the carnal, bestial nature in all of us. Wonderful writing. I totally identify with the "am I really me?" sentiment. Wonder that all the time.

Intriguing write, Regis. It is part of my own theological belief that there is nothing we have not been...and those who can still feel and emphathise with those other parts of ourselves are the ones that have the greatest responsibility to express those sensations. You have done so well here...May you always walk within the softest and the brightest of the Light...soft blessings to you,

Wonderful picture and poetry.The white wolf sometimes appear to forwarn of events of the future.One past my back and I saw him the day before my father died.Then a friend who wanted to ask a favor on the other side of goodbye appeared first as a wolf.Some of us know of our nature and I am a Butterfly.
