Helga from Germany.
Today I have the great pleasure and honour of presenting the song "Mother Wolf" composed and performed by Yiling Huang (Yilingseele), out of her album "Somewhere in Time", with my video. I met Yiling about 2 weeks ago here on YT. From the very first moment Yiling's music touched my soul and there was something special, one cannot describe with words, between the two of us, the begin of a very precious friendship. I was inspired by her composition "Mother Wolf" also by one of Yiling's comments that we also need to share our love and care with others and not only with our family.
This is exactly what happens within a wolves pack, most members of the pack will contribute to the rearing of the pups in some way. Also, when they go out to hunt, one or two adults stay behind to ensure the safety of the pups. I just don't want to think of how many of the children in our world are left alone!
I made the video only by "feeling" into Yiling's music. Today Yiling did send me her lyrics to the "Mother Wolf" and they are as following:
In the Wilderness, the sound of Mother Wolf's howl is chilling , but listen carefully : it is the Voice of her Soul . Where is her mate? We don't know , but Mother Wolf walks along many dangerous paths within her territory . She hunts and kills so she can survive and keep her young with her . She devoted herself to her pups and protects them, being careful not to spoil them . They will need to learn to face danger, too. In all she does, Mother Wolf is loyal, intuitive and endures with great strength.
I wonder if we can live at Peace with Mother Wolf and with each other? I pray we can and will !
