Spirit Story: Two Wolves – Feeding Anger

On March 13, 2013 by Janice Taylor

A Native American grandfather is talking to his grandson about how he feels about a tragedy in
their village. “I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart.  One wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one. The other wolf is the loving, compassionate one.”

The grandson asks, “Grandfather, which wolf will win the fight in your heart?”

The grandfather places his hand on his heart and replies, “The one I feed.”

Today:

1.  Notice when feelings of frustration, anger, upset in any form arise.
2.  Remember that we are of two wolves.
3.  Feed the loving, kind and compassionate wolf.
4.  Breathe in experience; breathe out poetry.

For more compassion and loving-kindness, visit our Facebook/Kick in the Tush Club chapter.

For more ways to spirit stories–sign up for my workshop at Rowe Camp & Conference — FEED YOUR SOUL, CHANGE YOUR WEIGHT–the weekend of March 29-31 at Rowe Camp and Conference Center, in Rowe, Massachusetts (the Berkshire Mountains; unbelievably, stunningly beautiful) for what is sure to be a mind changing, life changing, enlivening experience.  Feed Your Soul at Rowe!

Spread the word–NOT the icing!
