The Wolf,The Eagle and The Moon

If you have decided to take a look at my website/blog, you will first see an image of an Eagle and a Wolf in front of a full moon. I chose this image because it best represents me, if that makes any sense. I will explain.

The Wolf and the Eagle are both my spirit animals. Like the Wolf, I follow my instincts, or my gut, and this almost never fails me, as I believe I may or may not have some sort of sixth sense. Also, like the wolf, or more accurate the lone wolf, I am someone who walks alone. It's not because I don't have friends or family, but because I deliberately choose to be alone, because being alone makes me able to discover more about myself and when your alone and quiet you are the one that will notice things that no one else will.

But you may think about the fact that a lone wolf does not survive for long on it's own. Well, that's because wolves are pack animals, and it's necessary for them to live together, because together they are strong. Humans are also 'pack animals' to a certain degree, but we are more conscious and smarter than a wolf. We are not animals and therefore have the abilities to live like a lone wolf, and even thrive. I am one of those people. So I think that I will keep living like a lone wolf, taking care of myself, and get the best out of it.

Also like the Eagle, I am quite proud. I see that both as a flaw and a strength. I'm someone who doesn't like to regret things, and if I do or say something that I feel that I should regret, my first instinct is to shut those feelings down, because then the pride arises, and the pride says that I should not look back on anything or I should not regret anything, or should not think that my actions are anything other than perfect. That does not mean that I don't have a soul, believe me, not letting feelings of regret take me over is an ability I sometimes wish I didn't have, because it hurts the people around me. That is the part of me that is right now trying to be a better person. So like the eagle, I want to have the strength and resilience to let go of my pride and be a better person.

The Moon, is one of my favourite things in this world. Particularly, a full moon. I won't be corny and say that looking at a full moon is magical, but it does have some kind of pull on me. I see the full moon, and I always marvel at it, because to me it feels like looking at something ancient ,(in later posts you will learn that history is an endless passion of mine, sometimes even more than that ) because I see the full moon and think about how many era's and people the moon has seen. It's witnessed so much, different changes of time, different people ( who sometimes worshipped and revered it). And I sometimes have the thoughts of, what if there was a girl like me, ages and ages ago, who had those same thoughts as me. And it fascinates me. And so will the moon, always.

And so, like a lone wolf, who doesn't quite have a pack to howl for, I will howl at the moon.
