UTAH STALLION, 2020 What is man without the beasts? If all the beasts were gone, man would die from a great loneliness of the spirit. For whatever happens to the beasts, soon happens to man. All things are connected. ~ Chief SeattleFor generations, Poets, Chiefs, Sages and Philosophers have been telling us about the effects of nature or as I prefer to refer to it “the Wild”. We have read great quotes, books and passages of these intelligent and connected beings. All, who so greatly understand the relevance of the natural world. And what destroying her, will unquestionably do to us. Because she, the natural world, goes on. We can either make the choice to be inspired by this or make the choice to be complacent and miss the messages altogether.Wild Horses, for me, are amongst these great teachers.We are inspired by survivors, the wild horse is a supreme example of a survivor, a warrior, a noble and mighty creature. Their entire being exemplifies physical strength inside sculpted bodies of massive moving muscle, yet their calm, deep liquid eyes have a knowing of zen we, at our truest and deepest core, yearn to harness. They understand that controlling this diminishes the power it provides. They understand the strength it takes to keep their family band alive, but also understand the importance of the herd. Stronger together. They move through harsh landscapes, navigate forage, water and survival, together. Find your “wild” - feed your soul - heal the wounds of the world. xokc
