Chapter 2 - Wild and Wise<br />
As a child and young man, Running Deer never felt like<br />
he ‘fitted in’ with his peers, choosing to spend his time<br />
alone in Nature, rather than engaging in small talk or<br />
highly competitive games at which the others<br />
excelled.<br />
He found great solace in exploring the wild woods,<br />
running free through the bracken, climbing trees and<br />
wading through crystal clear, rivers, seasonally filled<br />
with salmon, his tamed and loyal wolf-dog – ‘Scents’,<br />
by his side.<br />
He would sit atop a<br />
grassy knoll and<br />
ponder the meaning<br />
of life, whilst<br />
honouring the<br />
resplendent nature<br />
that unfolded before<br />
him.<br />
Somehow,<br />
intuitively, Scents’<br />
sensed his<br />
restlessness of late<br />
and drew closer to him, sometimes resting his head on<br />
his knee or lap, in a gesture of understanding and love.<br />
He was a wise wolf dog!<br />
