There appears to be a depth of knowing and calm--like deep, still water--that manages to take my breath away on a regular basis. Yes, her head is hard, too, and hits the floor with quite a thud. She doesn't seem to mind it, either. Thank you, Linda.

I have been a friend of Earthfire for years -- first as a volunteer, then as a board member and now as their office manager so it was not surprise when a wolf came to visit me in the office yesterday. Windsong is an elderly wolf and you have read about her in previous blog entries. The snow was flying horizontally making it miserable outside for her arthritic bones. So in she came for a visit. She is a proud and beautiful wolf regardless of age. Windsong is the last surviving member of her litter of seven, surviving Earthfire, for whom Earthfire Institute was named. She quickly made herself at home, exploring and sniffing everything (she is almost blind and deaf). When she felt comfortable that every inch of the office had been investigated, she laid down with a deep thud -- her head literally slamming onto the floor. Animals have such incredibly hard heads -- I quickly looked over to make sure she was OK and she was already off to slumber. What a gift for me to share time and space with such a magnificent creature -- she being content in knowing that "her" people care about her and give her extra loving attention considering her age and firmaments -- and for me knowing I had such an honored elder in my midst. I just wish that everyone who "thinks" they know what wolves are about, could have the opportunity to meet one, face to face. Her intelligence and beauty is breathtaking and when I look into her eyes I see a majesty and knowing that goes beyond description. Afterall, she is the last remaining spokes-wolf for her family of seven and she still has a lot of people to educate. I wish for many more days of snow and many more visits from Windsong.
