Soul Ride
Lost in life, feeling striff, empty, sad – feelings often unfounded.
My soul longs for the ride like the ocean longs for the tide.
The smell of hay.
The whinny of welcoming.
The strokes of a brush.
The buckling of tack.
The mount.
The freedom of the ride.
For it is on horse where I am truly alive.
No Fear
No Worries
No Yesterday
No Tomorrow
Only NOW
Only ONEness
With horse I am whole.
I am awake.
I am love.
I am passion.
I am alive.
I am complete.
The air fuels my soul until it is a blazing bonfire deep within my being.
My heart beats in perfect rhythm … playing MY song, the song of the ride.
Music to my ears, music to my heart, music that mends a longing in my soul that aches like a broken heart.
When I feel lost in life I must remember … TO RIDE – TO RIDE – TO RIDE
Without horse I am lost. Half alive. Unsatisfied. Longing for something. Searching for nothing.
Shhh … hear the beat. The beat of love, light, living … that is my heart, RIDE RIDE RIDE
whole, alive, beating in perfect rhythm playing my song – RIDE RIDE RIDE
Born to ride.
Horse you complete me. Together we are ONE.
You are my soul-RIDE
