Two Wolves

As the sun begins to set over the golden plains of South Dakota, over the land of the Cheyenne, an elder man sits by the fire, his eyes filled with a mix of nostalgia and sorrow. With every crackle of the flames, memories of his youth flood his mind, of a time when he roamed free as a mighty warrior. His heart aches as he acknowledges the two wolves that reside within him, locked in a perpetual struggle. One wolf symbolizes patience, love, and courage, traits that guided him through countless battles in his prime. The other wolf embodies anger, rage, and violence, a reflection of the fierce warrior he once was. As he stares into the dancing flames, the man contemplates this internal dichotomy, knowing that while his days of physical strength may be fading, the choice between these two wolves still remains within his grasp. The fire and the echoes of the past remind him of the crucial decision he must make every day – the decision to feed the wolf of patience, love, and courage, nurturing virtues that enhance the legacy he leaves behind.
