A spirit wandered the Earth and Heavens in search of her home. She flew through the sky, ran across the plains, and swam in the great rivers… she saw strong mustangs, swift foxes, and keen eagles… yet, in the spirit’s heart, she felt a different vessel waiting for her.

Then, suddenly, a bright light.

As the sun’s light waned in the sky, the spirit spied a wolf cub still cradled in its mother’s laboring womb.

The spirit, small as a spark, approached the child beneath the sunset’s painted sky. Aha!

I have found it! the spirit rejoiced.

What have you found? the cub wondered, fascinated.

You, of course! I am your spirit.

My spirit?

Yes, the spirit laughed. I will be the wind in your hair when you run, the thunder in your body when you fight, and the fire in your heart when you love. We will walk together among all things and you will never be alone.

Oh, I am so happy you have found me! the young cub celebrated.

Then, they embraced, stepped forward, and greeted life.
