| life can be simple and quiet with nature and us, in balance... |
to me, the only thing absolute and for sure in this world is change. everything changes. all the time. one year this food is bad the next it's fine. goes for a lot more than food too and no where else is this so obvious than in the horse world. many people who wander in the domain are pig-headed, stuck, and so opionated that even when you ask them to explain their ideas to you they go off on a tirade that's so tainted you lose them at the get-go. i believe the only way to feel good about decisions you make about the care and relationship you have with your horse is to 1) ask the horse 2) check you instincs and 'guts' 3) read and study. i have to say i am sticking closer to the first two than #3 because stuff that's read is either a copy of what someone else said or just someone's opinion. do my horses need shoes? is riding bad? is milk bad even if it's organic and good? is that car economical? am i politically correct? should i tie my horse in the trailer? eat chocolate? run 5 miles everyday? geez no wonder we're so stressed out all the time. when did we stop listening to ourselves? why do we have to read about how to even make a decision? why do we copy and quote other people's opinions and thoughts? have we lost our own? yes we have. why? because we're out of balance. how 'bout not saying "always" anymore or "forever" anymore or the most common "no way" and "absolutely!". and...why not just a simple thank you instead of thank you SO MUCH. balance sounds good to me. soft, easy, uncomplicated, even and calm. pableu can spend his whole day in balance. taking bites of food here and there, napping when he feels like it, chasing an uncle and... my oh my how i envy that life! please make me duck or a free-roaming horse or a human so evloved that i can trust all what Creator gave me next time around so i too can live a life of simple balance...
