My wolf-obsessed daughter told me about the misunderstanding regarding "lone wolf" characterizations a couple years ago, and since then I've thought it might be a helpful way to re-perceive ourselves in this world. Since, as you know, "lone wolves" are usually younger wolves who leave the pack to find a mate and start their own pack in a new territory.

I don't keep a hierarchy of the things that add to my ever-simmering rage, but if I did, the rotten-hearted desire to kill wolves would be up toward the top. (Yesterday during my own volunteer reading group time with 6th-graders, they wanted to discuss their favorite animals. Wolves is a really common one among girls. There's something in there.)

Thank you for the beautiful words. The “sportsmen” are nothing but life-takers, so disgusting. I hope that Delilah will keep writing about the beauty she sees around her; thank you for being her teacher!
