At one point this morning, I walked past the window and looked out at the horses in the pasture. They were positioned with Siete facing east and Silk facing west right out in the middle of the snow blanket. Two Zen statues, welcoming the sun. I stopped to snap a photo and appreciate their stillness.
“It seems that we are humbled before the great events of life. Events over which we have no power, no influence. Events that do not play fair. To be humbled like this is not meant to be punishment, but rather Death grooming us to awaken.”

I've been humbled by life a few times...........glad that things were calmer today.
It seems whenever we lose someone it always gives us pause to stop and think about how unfair death is, but it is also a wake up call for those of us left behind. We need to focus on what we want to do and go ahead and do it,sometimes there is no second chance to fulfill a dream.Glad the girls are calmer. Have a peaceful day.
Glad things are calmer - take care and let the sunshine soak in. I took my chair out by the arena yesterday, bundled up with a fever, to watch my daughter's lesson. As is nearly always the case, being at the barn, with the horses and Rafer, makes whatever's ailing so much better.
