WHAT THE BLOG IS ABOUT

The business of living is all about creating memories. And always it is tied up with and to another person even so much more than things or places and this could be in tiny bits or even largely in a very special way. Creating memories entail a high dose of connectivity exchange depth involvement and bonding. And always it leaves its mark or footprints in people’s hearts sparing no one even bystanders or spectators traveling alongside that experience.

CREATE A PATCHWORK OF MEMORIES WITH THREADS THAT TIE HEARTS TOGETHER

This is a journey. One will often find oneself at one end or the other of that broad spectrum. It is a rich life, though definitely flawed and imperfect but rich. Yet it is what goes on inside a person - how he responds to life - that truly lends to its richness. This journey continues.

WHICH DO YOU FEED

Been away for a bit from writing here; just got busy with things. Anyway in my inbox this morning, saw this from a friend. Am glad that he sent it to me. It's one which should engage our thoughts and hearts. Seriously.

Here's the story........

Native American grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he felt ........


He said, "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 asked him, "Which wolf will win the fight in your heart?"

The grandfather answered, "The one I feed."


That's a good one, don't you think? The biggest battles that we fight are those with self. Anyone who says it isn't is not paying much attention to life. Either he has got himself so entrenched in his comfort zones or is feeding something else other than the two choices mentioned in the story..

Remember what has been said about 'you are what you eat'? In the same sense it can be said that 'you are what you feed'.

Maybe we should be asking ourselves which of the two wolves do we feed.... the vengeful, angry, violent wolf --- or --- the loving compassionate one. WHICH DO YOU FEED? In our everyday lives is an opportunity or several to make that choice. Choose that which would make the heavens smile. Choose that which would make you a blessing to others and to yourself as well.

  1. Ellen,

    For any right thinking person the only choice is to feed the one who is - the loving compassionate one. Thanks for sharing it.

    Take care
