The thing is, is that it sounds bad, difficult and hard and I guess it is but be it black wolves or black flags which I have fought with, fought under, nurtured, suckled and fed to a point where I knew no other way to be. Abuse survivor, ex-military, Metis struggling with ptsd, depression and anxiety. I wish that balance existed and maybe it does in people. Take care! 1 reply: Barb | Post Your Reply For there are times to talk and times to exit to go home. So then, I will talk to him at high noon, so our conversation would be short and the shadows would be short and talk where there is snow, so the shadows would be lighter. Therefore, perhaps Mr Graham actually heard the story and relayed it again as he wanted, perhaps the originator of the story was actually a Native man who decided to rely on a known predator friend, the white wolf, and really seeing on the ground the shadow recalling how the black wolf was there reflecting, so he decided to talk as the white wolf to Graham, looking all the time at his shadow and remembering, if I do not remember his black wolf, I would be devoured by him and his many shadows. I replied on the reflection of “Thos isn’t a Cherokee story.†Therefore, perhaps Mr Graham actually heard the story and relayed it again as he wanted, perhaps the originator of the story was actually a Native man who decided to rely on a known predator friend, the white wolf, and really seeing on the ground the shadow recalling how the black wolf was there reflecting, so he decided to talk as the white wolf to Graham, looking all the time at his shadow and remembering, if I do not remember his black wolf, I would. But the cost is in the eye of the beholder as two who would fight approach the each other. However the meaning might show itself, peace comes with a cost. While it is true others relay the story their own way or for fun a varied way, the meaning becomes hidden or is purposefully evading and another meaning shows clear. We do not know the complete thoughts and verbal meaning of the Native stories when only part of the story and part of an explanation.

A man or a woman who is pulled apart by the war inside him or her has nothing. A man or a woman who has peace inside has everything. Peace, my son, is the Cherokee mission in life. And when there is no battle inside, you can listen to the voices of deeper knowing that will guide you in choosing what is right in every circumstance.

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather: “Which wolf will win?” The same fight is going on inside you – and inside every other person, too.” One is evil – he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego.” He continued, “The other is good – he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. “A fight is going on inside me,” he said to the boy.”It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life:
