feed the spirit

Well, it was another American Idol bye bye evening...I totally picked who went home..I instinctively knew it. But why the hell they keep voting that Tim kid on for another week is beyond me....please, will someone style his hair and get him a voice.

Thanks Kathy Gledsdale for passing this on to me.

This is probably the best I've ever heard life explained! 

TWO WOLVES 

One evening an old Apache told his grandson about a battle that goes on inside people. 
He said, "My son, the battle is between two wolves inside us all.

"One is Evil - It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, and ego."The other is   The Spirit  - It is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith." 

The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather:"Which wolf wins?"

The old Apache simply replied, "The one you  feed.."

on that note: Happy St. Patricks Day to one & all !

Suze - you are right - we all choose our path!

On American Idol right now I am liking Dredlocks, big Mike and The girl with the headband and big classes - I know bad that I don't know their names already!!!! I'm hoping my blond cutie pie will start doing better - because, as Paris Hilton would say, "He's Hot"...

I love the 2 wolves quote - perfect for one of my new cards I been playing with recently (stampscapes)!

Thank you for passing these very wise words on. Agree the words are worth writing somewhere we can see them every day. Have a great day :-)

Brilliant little story...I'll have to tell that one to my kids tonight! Thanks for sharing it.

Love that story. I'm going to write it in my journal. The message is simple and fabulous.

That Tim kid is still there because 10 - 12 year old girls are fawning over him. I agree with you though...he has no talent. That being said...I still love American Idol!
