Inspired by a day at
The Wolf Sanctuary in Litiz, PA.
I have seen the beauty of winter, the turning of the leaves and the greening of the woods as summer takes its hold.
I have run with my family and moved silently through densely carpeted forest floor seeking my prey.
I have called to my young and heard the music of my clan echo through the woods.
I have hunted and fought to claim my territory.
I have found sanctuary in my new home from a world that is quickly diminishing mine.
And, as I look out at human faces eager to know more of my stories and wild nature I question which of us being held captive.
The Wolf Sanctuary serves as a rescue facility for wolves that have been displaced from their natural settings. In many cases this has been due to the desire of man to harness, and tame that which is wild. The sanctuary sits on 22 acres of land in PA Dutch country, and although this cannot replace the freedom that the wolves would experience in their natural homes it provides a place of safety and respect.
