Description: The Internet says that “Mother Goose is not a single, real person, but rather a legendary, fictional narrator and a symbol for traditional fairy tales and nursery rhymes.” She evolved through the centuries, primarily in France, and was responsible for the dissemination of handy wisdom - some albeit pretty dark. This dovetails nicely with what goose means as a spirit or totem animal. Goose represents community, cooperation, synchronicity, and determination which are all aspects of the kind of guidance needed to keep a group or “flock” together. Oh, and knitting is one of those activities that Mother Goose likes to do - making many threads into one beautiful garment which Is why I chose the goose to look like it had been knitted!

Description: An old Cherokee chief was teaching his grandson about life... "A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. "One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, self-doubt, and ego. "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. "This same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?" The old chief simply replied, "The one you feed."
