in Poetry, Spirit of the Wolf Tags: Fierce Spirit, Guard me as I move toward you, howl with me in my joy, lend me your primal strength, runs and leaps between the moss covered trees, show me the hidden paths in the moonlight, Spirit of the Wolf, stalks in the silent shadows, teach me, the wisdom of your eyes, to stand in defense of those I love, Waldorf School, Walk with me in my solitude, You who walks in the wildlands
Spirit of the Wolf was lettered by my grand-daughter at her Waldorf school
Spirit of the Wolf
You who walks in the wild lands
You who stalks in the silent shadows
You who runs and leaps between the moss covered trees
Lend me your primal strength
And the wisdom of your eyes.
Teach me to relentlessly track my desires
And to stand in defense of those I love.
Show me the hidden paths in the moonlight’
Fierce Spirit! Walk with me in my solitude.
Howl with me in my joy!
Guard me as I move toward you.

11th-13th CENTURY
Monasteries in Ireland and Scotland keep writing alive in the Middle Ages, but use their own shorthand symbols for “et” or “and”, explaining the variation in styles.
|
14TH-16TH CENTURY |
|
Italian Renaissance artists and writers create the glyph we most recognize and put it into common use for titles and names. |
18TH-19TH CENTURY
English school children learn it as the 27th letter of the alphabet. To distinguish it as a stand-alone character in recitation, they say “and per se and” which fuses together to become the name.
|
20TH CENTURY |
|
Jonathan Hoefler establishes a type foundry in New York City, which created ampersands in original typefaces commissioned by retail and media giants—The New York Times, Condé Nast, Rolling Stone, Tiffany & Co., Nike, and Hewlett Packard, to name a few. |
21ST CENTURY
Other famous typeface designers take a liking to the ampersand because of its playful, creative opportunities. Our love affair with the glyph continues.

give me the “landscape framing” to allow for four
framed
I was framed
by my eyelids
who clicked the shutter when
I saw the beauty of my grand-kids
the muscles of my daughter-in-law
the Samson-like hair of my son
the generosity of my daughter
the sweetness of my son-in-law
the texture of the flowers
and
then posted them on my blog without permission.
Trust me,
I was framed
with framing
those morsels with my eyes
and feeding them to my hungry blog.
I beg forgiveness.
