"I will not die an unlived life. I will not live in fear of falling or catching fire. I choose to inhabit my days, to allow my living to open me, to make me less afraid, more accessible, to loosen my heart until it becomes a wing, a torch, a promise."

The dark, the dawn, the noon, the day,
They all whisper to me in their own way.
With a wind as sweet as a summer sky,
I feel like I can grow feathers, leap up, and fly!
Though I am pinned to the ground, my imagination runs off with me.
And while it runs, I feel like I am free.
Which of God's creatures breathes with the land?
Why, of course, the horse, you understand!
Give me hooves to steer me toward my dreams,
Give me a whinny to vocalize my inner screams.
Let my hair dance and kiss the breeze,
For many moments, time would just freeze!
I want my tongue to taste the air,
A toss of my head and skip to my step, is it so wrong to add your own flair?
Therefore, I yearn to be,
Mounted on a precious steed, feeling his or her energy.
To feel the bunch and release
Of the muscles underneath, is what I want, please.
Give me a tail that will ripple and wave like a banner in the wind,
I tremble with the needs of accomplishment,
I feel the equine calling.

I feel very close to horses. Inside, I feel one of the animals in my soul is a horse. Swift, wild and free and determined.

Favorite Quote:
Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness, that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, and fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn&#039;t serve the world. There&#039;s nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won&#039;t feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It&#039;s not just in some of us, it&#039;s in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.<br /> -Marianne Williamson
