If you talk to the animals
they will talk with you
and you will know each other.
If you do not talk to them
you will not know them,
and what you do not know
you will fear.
What one fears
one destroys.
As winter descends,
two kindred spirits-
Wolf and Raven prevail,
ever wise, sly, playful, hardy...
mythical creatures,
sacred to the native peoples...
