Which Wolf to Feed ©

There's a tale told to me (and other searchers alike) of how each of us are made; Of two brother wolves - one of darkness and one of grace. Two polarities. Each one of us a blank slate. The person we become is based on which we feed.

The one you care for will grow strong (you've known this all along). Which will you allow to grow weak? And would a hungry wolf ever really let you keep a fragrant prey from he? And who could really sit aside and watch a brother bleed?

After years of contemplating, juggling ideas, and searching in me - I've decided neither one deserves to starve. They each have a purpose and place and can't stand to be apart. One dotes and loves unconditionally. Reminds you to tumble, play, and chase. The other - ruthless, cunning, stubborn, fierce, protective and letting no one get away - or ever betray. I can't bear to play favorites, and abandon the other into desolation. How could I neglect such a large part of me? You know I'd only mourn that gap.

So I throw myself to the wolves and let both of them consume me. As they feed, they bond and learn they're only one.
