An old Cherokee 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 every other person, too.
The grandson though about it and then asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win?”
The old Cherokee simply replied, “The one you feed.”
WIP- these wolves are almost finished. I just put the color on the seated one and have not completed some of the detail work but as I had a Tart's meeting yesterday and shared them at the meeting I feel it is ok to post today. Mary Ellen Maney, a member of the Tart's, supplied the above story which I do love.
