A Sense of Heart

Yesterday I met the most wonderful animal.  It was a horse…a race horse no less.  I’m not planning on investing in a race horse, but I would consider it based on the gift this fine creature gave me.

As of late, my blues have been the deepest hue of blue one could experience.  I will save those details for a different post and/or book.  My chance encounter was due to an unusually warm day in March yesterday.  We were above seventy and the sun was smiling on us.  My wife and kids really like horses, so we decided to visit a horse farm near where we live.  I went along as driver and spectator.  Little did I know…

The horse’s name was "Little Red" and a two-year old as well.  I was attracted to the horse’s auburn color…I guess the her name was fitting.  As I stroked the horse, it propped it’s head on my shoulder and stayed there for what seemed a lifetime.  It seemed to know the meaning behind every beat of my heart.  Inside I felt like I had met someone who understood…sensed my sadness.  See this article from VetMed Resource on horses and their emotional radar.

I have had other times in my life where not many have understood my steps.  Yesterday I felt that horse knew more about my state than any human on the planet.

Be open to accidents and what they may bring.
