When we approach relationship with the horse as stewards, rather than owners, we learn a softer, a better way of relationship. We learn to really listen, with a fullness of hearing beyond just the ears. What we hear can be translated through every aspect of our lives.
Horses have a voice and their voice counts. As we move into partnership with them, as their guardians, rather than owners or masters, we step onto a journey of relationship that teaches us who we really are.

It may seem odd to some to have a 4-legged being as your best friend, but my horse, Admiral, was my best friend. I cherished him deeply during his life and now, although he’s been gone from form for 8 years, I am still discovering gifts that he brought to my life.
Admiral provided a safe place, and a fun place to grow. He moved with me through so many stages of life’s transitions. I knew I loved him and I knew how deep our friendship was, but it wasn’t until the journey of assisting in his transition that I fully realized how deep this love was.
The emotional gifts and support that have I received through my relationship with Admiral has had long-lasting effects for me. He has inspired me to act on behalf of the horse. Each day, as I am with my herd, I take one more step towards embodying an indescribable love that I inspire to return.

Finding Sanctuary in the Subtle World
I began to find sanctuary in the subtle world when II began using flower essences and reading about the deva kingdom. I was introduced to the concept of co-creating with nature. That nature is a living intelligence and that we are hardwired to work in cooperation with these living beings. That they hold the blueprint for our evolution and they desire to work with us to assist us in our own processes of expansion. This was a completely new idea to me.
Going Barefoot on the Earth ~ Papatuanuku
What is important is that we open the channel to the Divine/God/ IO, and that we work hard to both enlarge and keep open that channel. One way of doing that is through Nature, and our connection to the planet. We are a part of the planet, made from and fed by it. In time, each of us will return to it and be reabsorbed by it. Our physical self will no longer exist, and yet it will have become a part of the planet, as it was before it appeared. In so doing we will be connected to all those who have passed and all those yet to be formed from it. There is no physical separation, either past, present, or future. We arise from our mother, the earth, walk upon and with her, and then return to be with and within her once more....read more.
Inspiration ~ Water Lesson
Water does not resist. Water flows. When you plunge your hand into it, all you feel is a caress. Water is not a solid wall, it will not stop you. But water always goes where it wants to go, and nothing in the end can stand against it. Water is patient....
Walking in the Wild
Find Your Wild I love backpacking. There is something immensely satisfying in traveling with all your belongings carried turtle-like on your back. Each footfall takes me further from civilization and deeper into the wild. Each step leads me back to myself. Worries, concerns, and my to-do list, all fall away; I am a snake shedding its skin, reborn into new life.
Magpie Messages – Finding Magic Around Us
There were many Magpie messages for me that night. I have always loved these birds. I admire how elegant they appear in their formal tuxedos with their long snappy tails. They seem clear cut, black and white, and then I see the flash of blue and the shimmer of iridescent green that sparks around them, reminding me that there is a hidden magic to life. I admire their intelligence, their ingenuity, and resourcefulness. These birds are bright and bold and proud of who they are.
