“I will choose the white wolf father!” Running Deer
replied.
“I feel you fear my son,” spoke the Chief calmly, “But
as you will discover, you will master those thoughts
driven by limiting beliefs and your wild emotions;
your clever body will adjust and all your conditioning
from generations aplenty, will be overcome.”
Running Deer shuddered again at the daunting journey
ahead, but a gentle and soothing voice within reminded
him of his dream, which started this whole initiation
process - to merge with The Great Spirit.
And so it was, with the greening and opening of the first
buds on the deciduous trees, Running Deer set off with
his father to an unknown internal destiny, but a clearly
defined and tested site for this, his grand initiation.
