Spirit Story: Two Wolves – Feeding Anger
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.
