Born as Two, Spirit of One


 in her spirit
lives a wolf
keenly in tune
with the tapestry of life
willing to share
with those experiencing strife
they
born as two
yet spirit of one
sharing silver hearts
as they wander wild parts
of our land
~




to enjoy sketches from wonderful artists... 

yesterday
following tracks in the woods
I stirred up a mammal, that is new to me
we think it is a mink:


so fun to see!

  10. I love the power of the wolf girl sketch. I have been trying to read "Women who run with the wolves" but it is a bit of a struggle - a bit too much like a text book for my taste!

    I've no idea what that creature is, but a mink does seem a good guess! We have mink in the UK now, though they are not native. They are ones that escaped from fur farms. Unfortunately they are upsetting the natural balance and killing off rare mammals like the dormouse. See, you learn something new every day!

  13. I know personally that the wold is my spirit guide and teacher. I have Lupus...an autoimmune disease that needs to be daily balanced with my life as an artist. When I had open heart surgery years back I woke up to see a white wolf laying beside me and guarding. Imagine and Live in Peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart

  15. I like the idea of having one spirit! And they both seem strong enough to take any challenge. And, oh, their eyes!...
    What about the mammal - it must be very exciting to see an unknown animal so close to you!:)
    I wish you a New Year, full of magics, inspiration, warmth, love and health!

  31. loved the line about them sharing silver heart (also the shared green eyes and piercing gaze). Don't like the fact that this post didn't show up in my reader. Google and I are going to have a VERY stern talk. Hope you're enjoying your Carolina snow!

  32. Your drawings really speak to me, Tammie; and there is so much of You in them!

  34. just lovely! both the words, and the artwork. There's just something wonderful about wolves isn't there?
    I see one of your comments mentioned 'women who run with the wolves'. I started that book several times over the years, but the furthest I have gotten is 100 pages. One of these days I'd like to actually read it all, lol!


    I have no idea what the critter is, but how thrilling to see!

  35. Goodness! How did I miss this?? Did you know that I have a huge fascination with wolves? They're such free spirits and they way they roam the earth within packs just make them more intriguing to me. Thank you for painting this, it's simply mesmerizing.. oxx

  36. Their eyes! Their eyes are beautiful and mesmerizing. What a great color. The subtle hint of trees in the background is wonderful as well. And I love your beautiful redhead below. I just noticed that she is your new avatar! Yay!

  37. The poem is really touching and I think the wisdom of living close and respect the nature is what we have forgotten long ago since we moved into the city :)

    A beautiful painting with a beautiful story as usual :D :D Thank you for sharing~! Love the forest view and the furry look of the wolf XD
