The parable has been with me for a while. I think I first came upon it a few years ago, when I was actively practicing feeding the good wolf. And that means usually being much more vulnerable and much more sort of skinless in the world because I'm someone who has had anxiety his whole life. It's not easy for me at all to lift up poetry that's more spiritual by nature that focuses on kindness, gratitude, connection, joy.
