Tim A. Dotson
The truth about wolves...
is something that many people may not want to hear...
because man is the only reason that wolves don't live in peace.
The truth about wolves...
is that when a wolf kills a sheep, that is grazing in a pasture,
it does it only to survive...
But man sees it has a plague that must be eliminated...
only man is allowed to kill the sheep...
and man does it by the thousands, but not to survive,
only because he can.
The truth about wolves...
is that when wolves fight with other wolves...
only the leaders of the packs fight with each other,
the leaders don't send others to fight their battles,
but mans leaders are cowards who send out others to fight their wars.
The truth about wolves...
is that wolves try and stay as far away from man as possible...
all they want is their own territory, and no more,
but man will not allow them this...
man continues to spread out,
cutting down forests,
building cities in their stead,
and killing wolves as they go.
The truth about wolves...
is that the only reason they might kill a man...
is so man does not kill them.
The truth about wolves...
is that man could learn a lot from them,
if only man would watch.
The truth about wolves...
is that they are superior to man.
If you disagree, answer this...
Who will start wars, that will kill thousands, over some land?
Who will hate someone for how they look, or their beliefs?
Who will kill for no real reason?
Who is never satisfied with what they have?
The truth about wolves...
is though man may think he has more intelligence then them...
wolves live better lives.
The truth is...
that until man can live in peace with wolves...
wolves are superior.

AND YOU WILL KNOW EACH OTHER.
IF YOU NOT TALK TO THEM
YOU WILL NOT KNOW THEM
AND WHAT YOU DON'T KNOW
YOU WILL FEAR.
WHAT ONE FEARS ONE DESTROYS."

and my heart.DO NOT trifle with me,for I am also the most powerful
and relentless creature you WILL EVER know.

"Wolf is the Grand Teacher. Wolf is the sage, who after many winters upon the sacred path and seeking the ways of wisdom, returns to share new knowledge with the tribe. Wolf is both the radical and the traditional in the same breath. When the Wolf walks by you - you will remember." ~Robert Ghost Wolf
"We humans fear the beast within the wolf because we do not understand the beast
within ourselves. ~Gerald Hausman
“For the strength of the Pack is the Wolf, and the strength of the Wolf is the Pack." ~Rudyard Kipling

Alone I wander, alone I sleep,
Alone I hunt and alone I sing.
All alone, all alone, all alone.
But I was not always alone, no, not always.
Once there was a pack, and pups, and a mate.
And together we hunted, wandered and played.
Then down from the sky came the airplane,
And with pounding hearts we ran for the trees.
But the plain swooped down on us like a great bird of prey,
While the humans inside fired away.
One by one my fellow wolves fell,
Twisting and crying, their blood staining the snow.
Running at my side my mate was shot down,
Letting out a yelp as she hit the ground.
Safe in the trees I turned my head,
To see my packmates all lying dead.
Only then did the humans land their plain,
To pose for some pictures by the wolves they had slain.
Those humans took everything from me that day,
Breaking my heart and crushing my spirit along the way.
Now wandering alone, though the night, I whimper and sigh,
Thinking one word over and over: WHY?
Someone out there, hear my lonely cry,
And tell me, please, why do you want us to die?

One last glance from golden eyes
One last song, a howling cry
One last Wolf stands here alone
One last forest that he owned
One last breath that he drew.
One last thought as if he knew
One last run through his forest trails
One last night as the silver moon pales
One last chance to save and give
One last hope to help live.
One last fight and daring try
One last glance from Golden Eyes
PLEASUREYOURPAGE.COM♥´¯`•.¸¸.♥ƸӜƷ Silent Passage ♥´¯`•.¸¸.♥ƸӜƷ
On It's journey to extinction
a Wolf pauses and looks
back on those that are helping
with that journey. There is no
malice in the Wolf's eyes.
Rather, there is a hint of
tragic understanding and an instinctive intelligence that knows that
all species, including mankind, will disappear from It's environment
when that environment is altered by a stronger force.
The world will be a poorer place if the Wolf passes in history.

The Wolf whispers to my soul
silently from the night.
Telling me a mourning tale
of a tragic end in site.
An end to all of wolfkind
it seems will be their fate
but together we can change
before it becomes too late.
It whispers to my soul again
singing me a song
that carries on the breeze
while I quietly tag along.
A song of love and loyalty
so often misunderstood
the haunting songs still echoes
like no other ever could.
The tenderness and sorrow.
The joyous call of the pack.
Let us join together
AND BRING THE WOLF PACK BACK!

Native American Lore
I wanted to give something of my past to my grandson. So I took him into the woods, to a quiet spot. Seated at my feet he listened as I told him of the powers that were given to each creature. He moved not a muscle as I explained how the woods had always provided us with food, homes, comfort, and religion. He was awed when I related to him how the wolf became our guardian, and when I told him that I would sing the sacred wolf song over him, he was overjoyed. In my song, I appealed to the wolf to come and preside over us while I would perform the wolf ceremony so that the bondage between my grandson and the wolf would be lifelong. I sang.
In my voice was the hope that clings to every heartbeat. I sang.
In my words were the powers I inherited from my forefathers. I sang.
In my cupped hands lay a spruce seed -- the link to creation. I sang.
In my eyes sparkled love. I sang.
And the song floated on the sun's rays from tree to tree.
When I had ended, it was if the whole world listened with us to hear the wolf's reply. We waited a long time but none came. Again I sang, humbly but as invitingly as I could, until my throat ached and my voice gave out.
All of a sudden I realized why no wolves had heard my sacred song. There were none left! My heart filled with tears. I could no longer give my grandson faith in the past, our past.
At last I could whisper to him: "It is finished!" "Can I go home now?" He asked, checking his watch to see if he would still be in time to catch his favorite program on TV. I watched him disappear and wept in silence. All is finished!
by Chief Dan George (chief of the Salish Band in Burrard Inlet, B.C.)
