Marching Among Kindred Spirits

The process of sorting out what is real from what is imagined can be daunting, since all of us – pro and con – have strong feelings about the Trump Presidency. I’m put in mind of a Cherokee legend:

An old chief was teaching his grandson about life. He said, “A fight is going on inside me, a terrible fight between two wolves. One is evil – he is anger envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority and ego. The other is good. He is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you, and inside everybody else in the world.” At last, when the grandson asked which wolf would win, the old Chief answered, “The one you feed.”
