Wandering Aimlessly
The Coy-Wolf
by Phil Burkhouse
I shake my head as I watch the little people hammering away on their digital whatevers and allow my mind to drift back to earlier times in North America. It is obvious early Americans lived closer to nature, probably out of necessity, and this closeness coined many of the names and phrases still in use today—although many times the origins of those phrases or words are lost.
Examples of these old phrases are exemplified by the names given to the full moons.
