The essence of the Wolf Brother . . .

 

For me, a wolf’s free and wild spirit doesn’t rest only in the beating heart deep within its chest . . . its echo resounds in the hearts of its pack brothers and sisters . . . therefore it can be said “The heart of the pack beats in all wolves”. This bond not only extends well beyond the valleys where the wolf pack resides, but also to the spirits of ancestors that have come before.

 

So with this piece I try to honor those wolves who run, hunt and sing today, as well as those who now run, hunt and sing on the wind.
