I was familiar with the NA story of the two wolves. It reminded me if of other choices, particularly some of the plot in the movie Sieriana. The story revealed much of the quest for oil and riches behind the big oil companies and our government. There were two brothers, princes in a rich Middle Eastern nation.

The one brother was fairly self-centered and the other one was open to new ideas. He held his meetings in a circle, he talked about elevating the position of women as equals.

The sad thing was that the players behind the scenes chose to have the open-minded brother killed as they wanted to other one in power as he could be manipulated.

At the end of the movie there was a scene with all the big oil guys, etc., hosting the ME prince ignoring the loss of the other one (perhaps not even aware of what had happened).

Like the metaphor of the two wolves this also has meaning. It's amazing how people will ignore history. My last book was co-authored with an Egyptian Muslim Sufi woman (anthropologist) and an Israeli Jewish woman. We talked about this theme of ignoring history and how much we need to learn from our mistakes of the past.

Most of all we need to understand and discuss what are the true features of the feminine? How do women resolve issues?

Wishing you all well and looking forward to ongoing discussions.

Warmly, Sharon
