And the world falls away

When in the company of horses something strange comes over me, it feels as if the world quite literally peels away from around me. For just the smallest time all that is left is a felt connection, precious and rare, a familiar that is felt throughout my whole body.

Yesterday morning was full of words, none of them my own but they felt like they overwhelmed mine and I felt a wee bit unsteady.
.
Then in the afternoon there was this beautiful soul. For a moment with him I was held in a place I remembered but yet that had never existed before. As I stroked his velvet face and he blew his soft breath on my cheek the world did fall away. It was over so quick but in it I found something I didn’t even realise I needed and the trace lingers even still.

As life and our diaries begin to fill up again it can be easy to miss these moments and to miss ourselves in all the stuff. Go steady friends and don’t forget to notice the little things, they are often the key to the biggest things.
