wolfe’s Growling Musings

It’s not my birthday today, but it was certainly celebrated very recently. Wolfeday is of course that famous holiday celebrated on the second Sunday in December… so shall stand in nicely for any putative birthday.

I realized I had to blog about this because one of the gifts I received was serendipitous and auspicious as far as this blog is concerned. Bear (ha) in mind that in my regular non-blogging life, I do not use the terms ‘wolfe’ or ‘Wolf’ to any unusual degree. I do have an affinity for wildlife, and I do have a good deal of art in that vein, but none that includes wolves.

The Power of a Dream: Jody Bergsma

You can imagine my surprise when I was handed this 8.5×11″ card by someone special.And while I grant you the artist’s writing is somewhat new-age rubbish, I still quite liked it in this context. An auspicious choice, considering this blog:

At the center of this composition is an ancient mathematical form known as the Fibonacci sequence. It is a spiral, a timeless symbol. It is the hidden eye of the largest wolf head.

Wolves are a lesson in courage and endurance. They live in some of the most harsh and unforgiving parts of the world. Call upon wolf as a source of inspiration. What begins as a dream can be brought to life by the same power that motivates Wolf.

Since no one there knew about my blog here, I had to stifle a roar of laughter. But my broad smile was, I think, thanks enough for the giver.

So happy Wolfeday, happy Wolfeweek! If you want to give a gift, link a story or picture of a wolf, Wolf, Wolfe or wolves, below.
