Sitting on the patio under the umbrella on this glaringly sunny Sunday, watching my sheets swing lazily on the line as the horse graze contentedly in the background, I don't think I've ever felt or been more at peace or happier.
Once again, I have horses tearing at the grass and munching noisily in my lush, green pasture. I didn't realize how terribly much I missed them, until the arrival of the three "boys". Immediately, I felt an incredible sense of peace wash over me. Smell their heady warmth as the sun beats hotly on their flesh, touch their glistening bodies, hear their hooves thud rhythmically on the sun-baked ground.
And excitingly, my creativity has burst forth like a butterfly shucking it's cocoon. Energy zings through my body, and positivity (is that a word?) splashes color on everything I see with a vivid paintbrush. Art, words and graphics leap from my brain to the paper, demanding visual representation.
Concepts, design, artistic subjects, and writing clamber to the forefront of my mind. Possibilities, new ideas and incredible energy to express them have me painting long into the darkness of the night, and bounding out of bed at sunrise. Watching the slanting morning rays, peek over the mountain tops and cast their dewy light on three magnificent, well muscled bodies grazing in the pasture, my creativity demands that I pick up the pen, pencil or paintbrush.
The peace and quiet here has been therapeutic and beneficial, and it has rejuvenated and energized me. My health issues are almost completely resolved, leaving me with a wonderful sense of well-being and excited at the new opportunities and adventures that await me.
And what do frogs, ermines and horsefeathers have to do with any of this? Simply, that these things can be found on horses, (yes, horses DO have feathers!) and watching them hunt for and nibble on the sweetest blades of grass, brought them to mind.
