meteors and wolves

Current work: en vacances (but thinking about outlines)
Listening to: Bach
Reading: Susan Mallery, Falling for Gracie (enjoying this hugely – thanks to Heidi Rice for recommending this)

Missed the meteor shower last night because when I looked it was cloudy, and my mental alarm didn’t go off (am still a bit woozy from lurgy and antibios). I remember watching this shower when son was a tiny baby: a bonus after the middle-of-the-night feed.

As for the wolves – I’m not feeling particularly profound today, so this is a bit of food for thought from an unknown source (but passed to me by Michelle – thank you).

One evening an old Cherokee Indian told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all. One is Evil - it is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego. The other is Good - it is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith."

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: "Which wolf wins?"

The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."
