I had the distinct privilege of meeting wolves when Adam brought them to Vermont via Mission Wolf. I sat as part of a small select circle who were invited to to be greeters for this group of ambassador wolves. Nothing could truly prepare me for the beauty of their wildness, their playfulness, curiosity and strength. I felt transformed. In a moment, as they first greeted me with their sniffs, licks, and held gazes, I had a glimmer of understanding how we are in fact kindred. Something wild in me stirred, was called and answered, even briefly. I want to continue walking this Earth with our wolf kindred playing their critical role in our ecosystem and as part of our natural family.”
