This blog is in response to the article "Finding Your Howl," by Jonathon Flaum. One of the described stories is about a pack of wolves who are on the verge of extinction. They are brought into captivity to safely recover their population, and are later released once again. But once they are released, they have all forgotten how to howl, and they have no leader. One wolf knows that he used to be able to howl, but can't remember how. He goes through a series of strange events and eventually acts with his instinct. He falls into a hallucination where he sees his death, as he is shot with a gun. He finally howls, and is brought back to reality as the other wolves follow suit and claim him as their leader.
The main point of this story is that we must sometimes suffer greatly, even feeling like death, to do things that we believe are impossible. When we set a goal, we cannot simply walk away from it. We are drawn into it, and there is no turning back.
The following is an audio blog restating the previously stated material, as well as new information.
