Welcoming Change
I’ll admit that fall is not my favorite season. I’ve always had a hard time with the loss of seemingly endless days in nature’s beauty, digging in the dirt, planting seeds, and the manifestation of possibilities that spring and summer bring. To be truthful this year there is full-throttle resistance inside me as the season […]
The Generosity of Sentient Beings
Sunday is not a cuddly mare. She is not the horse that will come bounding over the hillside to greet you. It’s been 11 years since I rescued her from a pretty dark situation. She had no trust in the human race and it was clear from how she looked that things had not gone […]
