• Wa-hoo
   and hoo-raay,
   with a yippee thrown in
  for good measure.

  
  

  Feed the white dog,

  
  

  The latest of my FAQblogs at KaiOaty got into this week’s ZangaZine.

  
  

  Natena, the young woman my grandson Alex loves, is a member of my daughter Angie‘s group at msn, PeaceSeekers.  She had written on the message board,

  “I have been really strugling with solvin issues on a postive note. I’ve been noticing lately that I get really mad or upset really easy. I need some advice on focusing my negative energy on something else. I’ve tried cleaning or relaxing it just dosent seem to be cutting it…..
  

     Please help me!”

  
  

   

  
  

  I had already made a few notes on the “Love versus Fear” FAQ, and Tena’s request motivated me to finish it.

  
  

  Morgane decided to include it in ZangaZine this week. 

  
  

  Thank you Natena and Ren and Marian and Mel and Angie and everyone else who has been reminding me lately that this needed to be written.  Here’s an excerpt:

  
  

  
  

  Some Native American traditions say that each of us is accompanied by two Spirit Dogs: a fearsome black dog and a friendly white dog.  They say, “Feed the white dog, not the black dog.”  They don’t say kick the black dog, run away from it or try to make friends with it.  They only say, “Feed the white dog.”  The black dog feeds off fear and hatred, on anguish, anger, anxiety.  It’s more fun to be loving, so feed the white dog.
