There is something about Spirit that speaks to Meadow of a gentle soul. His shy, nervous demeanor is slowly starting to melt away and Meadow sees a brilliant, kind wolf underneath. Maybe she is just being optimistic but she senses that he might be starting to become comfortable around her. The smaller wolf feels like Spirit is relaxing so she tries remember to keep praising him often. She hopes that, with the positive energy and kindness she is giving, he will start to come out of his shell more.
As she follows him and, speaks of Horsetail, Spirit mentions how it sounds useful. Still keeping her distance and walking behind him, Meadow absentmindedly nods her agreement and says, “Oh yes, it is very useful. There are many herbs that have can help heal different ailments. I would be happy to tell you about some of them. If you would like.” A smile rests easily on her lips as she offers to teach and the excitement at the prospect has her tail wagging slowly behind her.
As he speaks of not knowing what he wants to be and that his mother is a healer, Meadow nods slowly and says, “It is okay Spirit. You don’t need to know what you want to do right now. Just know that you are doing enough by being here.” For some reason, she thinks he needs those words. He needs to know that is enough and that, no matter what, he is a wolf worthy of every good thing that comes his way. Her words are clumsy but she hopes he understands her awkward attempt at voicing what she feels.
Besides, he is young and still has many years ahead of him. Spirit has plenty of time to decide what he wants to be. The world might try pressure him to deciding quickly what to do but she hopes that he will take his time and discover more about himself and the world first. The world is big and there are many wonderful things to see. Spirit deserves to see them all before a figuring out what he wants to become.
Mulling over his interest in plants but not knowing what he wants to be, Meadow suddenly comes up with a potential solution. “How about this; I will teach you about some common plants and herbs and, if you enjoy learning about them, I can always come back and teach you more. It does not mean you have to become a healer. It only means you are interested in plants. Does that sound like a plan?” Proposing a deal, she smiles brightly as they walk and hopes he agrees with it.
