Live your Life

Posted on May 21, 2011

“What I want to say is that the past is the past,
and the present is what your life is,
and you are capable of choosing what that will be…

So come to the pond, or the river of your imagination,
or the harbor of your longing,
and put your lips to the world.

And live your life.”

~Mary Oliver

When you have entirely surrendered,

everything you do will be meditation.

~Yogaswami

It doesn’t matter what is going on in my life – good, bad, happy, sad – all I have to do is be in the presence of horses and instantly, all is right in my world.  Not sure what it is about them that is so soothing to me, but whatever it is I am grateful for.

I love to groom them.

I love to watch them eat.

I love to sit quietly next to them as they sleep in the sun.

I love their smell.

I love their energy.

I love how soulful they are.

I love that they are in my life.

We all hunger for the enigmatic,

the veiled unexplainable which is beyond human understanding.

Some of us satisfy this appetite with the archetypal majesty and power

of the horse. ~ Melissa Sovey-Nelson

A myth is far truer than a history,

for a history only gives a story of the

shadows, whereas a myth gives a story

of the substances that cast the shadows.

~ Annie Besant
