After I fed the horses and was taking hay to the goats tonight, I walked into a pocket of much colder air and it reminded me of the pastures in Arizona. We could walk (literally miles) across the multi-levels of horse pastures in the morning and at each depression or low spot the air would be warmer. In the evenings, the bowl-like areas that were lower were filled with colder air...fresh, crisp cool air that was invigorating. The horses stood in the mornings on rises and hills waiting for the warming sun to arrive. In the evening they gathered in the bosque under trees in lower areas. Their awareness was instinctive. My delight at the discovery, kind of special and unaware at the same time. I have heard that cities produce their own weather if they are large enough. That the buildings change the air currents and temperatures. Nature adapts. Air flows no matter what gets into its way. We adapt, hopefully...embracing what arrives and flowing around what gets in our way.

Horses Heal Us
If you can get you out of the way when you come to your horse, he will show you how to shift your position within the field to a place that supports and nurtures your soul. It's all about how you feel and you empower those feelings and they create your reality and your horse is ready to show you how to feel magnificent.
Compassion not Compulsion
In all of our relationships, the light of integrity is held by Compassion. If we consider something other than our own motives and agendas, we can open to living a real life outside of the world of illusion. With animals, we will establish communication instead of domination. With loved ones, we will share our very souls. With humanity, we will become beacons of reason and unconditional love. We will shift ourselves and those who resonate with Nature to a higher kind of love and life where the demoralizing of others is simply not accepted.
