The Council
They gather before the wise one to seek his council. His eyes alive with fire radiate his truthfulness and the Wolves understanding his power lay at the feet of the seasoned warrior. There is much to learn and the cunning predator acknowledges the need to experience the visions and the parables of the Story teller. " Walk softly upon the earth , commune with nature, for Mother Earth bears the fruits of life. Seek not to war against her, for the battle will be lost to even the greatest of chiefs. When angry, the canyons crumble and the streams dry up in her wrath. The existence of her people shall vanish." " The Wolf truly LIVES in the safety of the pack. Together they are fierce and respected among the other tribes, when they stray into the wilderness alone, peace ceases to exist for the lone wolf. He shall struggle in silence for survival, Joy is lost, His sight is set only upon the kill. His vision has faded. Where there is no vision they perish, and the banished shall perish alone." Search the fire, and learn of life. "Warmth and light emit when it's purpose is to comfort, but left unmanaged it rages and consumes itself bringing to ashes all within it's path. Such are the ways of man." Learn this lesson well " Walk softly upon the generosity of provision Dwell in peace in the safety of the pack Beware the fullness of self Understand the emptiness of pride Let your life radiate brightness as the fire Let your heart emanate the warmth of its spirit Learn the ways of the wise, So even the fool... Shall cast away bad medicine, and drink from the wisdom of council." "choose your path wisely lest the fire consume you"
War no more forever
