We need another and wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals. Remote from universal nature, and living by complicated artifice, man in civilization surveys the creature through the glass of his knowledge and sees thereby a feather magnified and the whole image in distortion. We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves. And therein we err, and greatly err. For the animal shall not be measured by man. In a world older and more complete then ours they move finished and complete, gifted with extensions of the senses we have lost or never attained, living by voices we shall never hear. They are not brethren, they are not underlings; they are other nations, caught with ourselves in the net of life and time, fellow prisoners of the splendor and travail of the earth. -Henry Beston, The Outermost House (1928)

The raven and wolf have always been companions according to both scientists and lore. Raven leads wolf to potential food and after the wolf has eaten there is plenty left for raven. One Partner provides the other with service that multiplies the ability of both. If only humanity could learn such harmony...

The design was drawn and inked by hand, frame and image in the silhouette was made in Bryce 5.
