Sunday night I read Jack London in front of the fire. The main character, a wolf in the Alaskan wilderness, is totally wild, untamable, and has difficulty entering trusting relationships based on his many past experiences of being treated horribly. Yet he is eventually met with kindness, learns how to live within certain constraints, and surprisingly, eventually, meets a partner, siring young pups who heap affection upon their previously lone wolf father. I hadn't expected that. Inspiring, to say the least. It's important to note that he knew how to fend for himself first, before he settled down. Those experiences built his confidence and helped him become a strong father. I learned a lot from the "blessed wolf."
