Personae Equus Part I: The Root of Emotional Integrity
The so called ‘Leaders’ of recent history have quite often failed to meet our expectations and our needs. Political leaders, religious leaders, leaders in commerce. So many seem to fall victim to their own foibles right before our eyes…leaving us with an unsettling sense of abandonment. Greed, malice, selfishness, moral blindness, denial, arrogance spill across our headlines leaving us asking the questions: Where are the leaders with the perfectly calibrated moral compasses? Where do we find… Continue

- Greetings everyone- I have joined for one reason: the pleasure of the company of true horsemen!
Warm Holiday wishes to all-
A note of Peace from me to you:
In all the circles I move in, people often ask me why it seems I prefer the company of my horses over humans. I always smile gently and remain silent, as if I have a secret that is mine alone.
To know Peace, touch a horse.
Peace itself is embedded into the very DNA of the horse. They know nothing of the instinct to kill, to take life as the only option for survival, it is entirely out of their realm of understanding as sentient beings, as prey vs predator animals. Whilst the lion, the bear, the hawk and the man survive in the carnivorous confines of this equation of death, the horse stands with the nobility of its own bones, blades of grass in its mouth, observing with a question for us from the universe in its head: Why?
The comfort of ones horse in battle through the centuries brought a metaphysical context to the moment for the soldier entangled in the hell of the dark side of his own instinct. The horse provided the witness of Peace. Perhaps even a certain presence of civility in the midst of carnage.
For the modern soldier to reach out to steel, to his fellow soldier for some comfort, some answers to his existence, is to find no answer at all. There was a time when he, in the darkness, could reach out and touch his horse, and for a moment be reminded, on the physical plane, that Peace is his future.
As I move through the days, bombarded by the darkness of my own species’ struggle, in a multitude of ways I stay eternally close to what I know as Truth. In all the prayer, in all the meditation, all the giving and in all the loving….it is to my horses that I often return to see and feel Gods intention for us. It is here, it is one way among many that I see, in physical form, the way forward in our evolution toward that moment when we evolve past the darkness that remains in our own DNA.
In these days, stay close to one another. May love embrace you in the coming year.
Nancy
