Fair Trade & Eco Fiber Links

The Two Wolves

One evening an old Cherokee 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 Good. 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 Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed."

Welcome to Rayela's Fiber Focus!

I write about fiber art, textiles, fair trade, cultural traditions and throw in my two cents about what I see going on in the world. I also sell ethnic textiles on Etsy, plus some things I've made along the way. I'm always looking for guest writers who would like to share their experiences with textiles and community. My latest baby, TAFA (www.tafalist.com) is awesome! I started it but it's off and running, taking on a life of its own!
