Wicked Wanderings: 02/01/2009

An old Indian Grandfather said to his grandson who came to him with anger at a friend who had done him an injustice.

"Let me tell you a story. I too, at times, have felt a great hate for those that have taken so much, with no sorrow for what they do. But hate wears you down, and does not hurt your enemy. It is like taking poison and wishing your enemy would die. I have struggled with these feelings many times."

He continued...

"It is as if there are two wolves inside me; One is good and does no harm. He lives in harmony with all around him and does not take offense when no offense was intended. He will only fight when it is right to do so, and in the right way. He saves all his energy for the right fight.

But the other wolf, ahhh!

He is full of anger. The littlest thing will set him into a fit of temper. He fights everyone, all the time, for no reason. He cannot think because his anger and hate are so great. It is helpless anger, for his anger will change nothing. Sometimes it is hard to live with these two wolves inside me, for both of them try to dominate my spirit."

The boy looked intently into his Grandfather's eyes and asked...

"Which one wins, Grandfather?"

The Grandfather smiled and quietly said...

"The one I feed."

updated update

I've been playing around with WordPress. Though I currently find their theme selections lacking (something I will eventually pay to fix), I find their ToS much more agreeable then Google's creepy "we have potential rights to everything" disclaimers.

MY ART
mine mine mine!

Anyway, you can check it out here for now. A final post will be made on the page you are currently reading in which I shall announce my permanent move. Soonish. Or somesuch.

Update

I am in the throws of deciding when, where, and how to start publishing my work. That means that the 2 or 3 of you who read this are being warned of the future that lies in store for Wicked Wanderings. It may mean more posts, or possibly a move to other services with a different ToS.

Look for updates in the next couple of weeks as I sort this all out. If you are familiar with other electronic mediums that protect content or do not claim rights to it, respond to this post or shoot me an email.

Love and a pill,
