Default Way to spend your time!

Quote:
"The younger wolves in the pack would come right up to us, and they would come up to our camp and empty our rucksacks - you would wake up and find your clothing spread all over the place. They were very inquisitive," explained Mr Hoskyns-Abrahall.


Arctic explorer Jim McNeill, who worked with the crew and kept a diary of his experiences for the BBC News website, was particularly taken with one young wolf who he nicknamed Lucy.
He said: "The highlight for me was one afternoon when the crew was off filming.
"Lucy came near the camp and I spent the best part of an afternoon with her in spectacular sunshine. We just shared a space - it felt extremely special." He added: "I've been exploring this area for 25 years and to spend this time with these animals gave me another perspective on Arctic life.
Fascinating. I always had a soft spot for wolves, from childhood on. E. Zimen was standard literature for me when I was a boy.

I love stories like this, a mutual understanding between man and creature

"Wahnsinn!" When being boy, I dreamed of doing something like this!

Also, as a juvenile, I often had dreams (many of them) while sleeping, according to this pattern: me in a foreign city, and faceless people hunting me, for the city was theirs. Me getting out, away fom the city and into the wilderness and dense forests, my hunters getting faces but also turning into monsters there, but since the forest was "my" world, they became the hunted. I hunted and slaughtered these monsters there, always, and with pretty much gore effects. But sometimes there were wolves, and I saved them, and they supported me, scouting for me, and such. even there I liked wolves, and they liked me.

Only a dream pattern, but one that follwed me for several years. Reminds me a bit of shaman's tales were wolves are described in a function of totems. I liked these dreams, and really miss them, very much. the world they showed me I really loved more than anything else, and it were dreams about a pretty intense, independant life, without hesitation. For you, it only is a tale by Skybird. For me, they have a very special meaning. If there will be an afterlife, and it would be ölike this and in a world like in these dreams, i would be the most happiest being.
