Nature for the Soul

I believe this as much about dogs, as I do horses. There's something about connecting with a once wild, instinctual being, that rustles the soul. Makes it stir.

It's that stirring of the soul that creates a passion. Something that can't be tamed, all the while somehow instrumentally guiding you down a path that is all yours. Perhaps the path less travelled? Or maybe it sends you swiftly along the winds, no need for a compass. Your heart will take you exactly where it needs to go.

Combining the experience with nature, creates an explosion. A firework of your own creating. Splashing the colours of your heart onto the world, just hoping to leave a lingering impression. A moment. The moment. When you know that you'll never forget the place that you're in, or how you got there. You've created a lasting moment. Something that changes who you are, and how you see the world. You build a connection. A direct line from you, to the natural world. A place that doesn't understand you, but doesn't need to. A place that doesn't judge you, because it has no reason to. A place where survival, and in-the-moment are all that exist.

It's a place where you can learn all there is to learn about life, if you pay attention. If you look, listen, and feel everything around you.

I've personally decided to honour this place within myself, and the world, the best I can from this day til the last day. I have picked a sitting spot. A place where I will do exactly that, sit. Breathe. Learn. And hopefully make a few more friends in nature...
