"My friends, how desperately do we need to be loved and to
love." Chief Dan George Skokomish We
commenced to make fast friends and a fellowship has grown up among us of
which it is a wonderful thing to feel a part. The joy of living we really
have, even under pressure and difficulty. I have seen hundreds of families
set their feet in the path that really goes somewhere; have seen the
most impossible domestic situations righted; feuds and bitterness of all
sorts wiped out. I have seen men come out of asylums and resume a vital
place in the lives of their families and communities. Business and
professional men have regained their standing. There is scarcely any form
of trouble and misery which has not been overcome among us. We meet
frequently so that newcomers may find the fellowship they
seek. Big Book pg. 16 A
Native American Story A
grandfather was talking to his grandson about how he
felt. He said, "I feel as if I have two wolves fighting in my heart. One
wolf is the vengeful, angry, violent one. The other wolf is the loving,
compassionate one." The grandson asked him, "Which wolf will win the fight in your
heart?" The grandfather answered: "The one I feed."
