Today, as I packed away the Christmas decorations and prepared rooms for visitors over the New Year — knowing I’ll be away — I found myself thinking about those who didn’t make it this far into 2025.
And I caught myself wondering how many of us will be here this time next year and what we can learn from our horses 🐴
Horses live quietly and constantly.
Not in fear — but in presence.
They don’t assume tomorrow.
They don’t rush past today.
They meet each moment as it is, with the bodies and beings who are actually here.
The herd teaches us something simple and profound:
Be fully with who is here. while they are here.
Not perfectly.
Not urgently.
Just honestly.
A breath.
A touch.
A moment of attention.
That is often enough.
Invitation
Take a quiet moment today and ask yourself:
🐴 Who am I grateful for right now?
🐴 Where might I be rushing past presence?
🐴 How can I meet today more fully, without borrowing worry from tomorrow
Horses don’t measure life by length.They measure it by connection.
And connection is makes the world go round 💕
