Autumn Wolf!

Species:  WOLF  Canis Lupus
- - -

Climb the mountains and get their good tidings.
Nature's peace will flow into you
as sunshine flows into trees.
The winds will blow
their own freshness into you,
and the storms their energy,
while cares will drop off
like autumn leaves.

are never alone or weary of life.

The Arctic has a call that is compelling. The distant mountains [in Alaska] make one want to go on and on over the next ridge and over the one beyond. The call is that of a wilderness known only to a few...This last American wilderness must remain sacrosanct.
