Wild fire…

The lesson for tonight is that once you start something you finish it…

Eldon Montgomery, father of skeleton athlete Jon Montgomery…

I had a dream this morning that I was dreaming…

I was in bed asleep and woke up because I felt this incredible presence,

and strength,

surrounding me…

What I noticed when I first opened my eyes was that there was a chestnut filly,

and a cremello colt,

relaxing on the floor…

And a cremello Lusitano stallion standing at the foot of my bed…

All of them looking at me intently…

I was slightly startled to find three horses in my bedroom…

I asked them what they were doing…

The stallion said,

We’re just waiting for you to wake up from your dream…

We’ve been waiting for a while now…

Practicing our patience…

I got out of bed and sat on the ground beside the chestnut filly…

She put her head right in my lap and I started to brush her mane…

There are no words to describe the feeling of being approached with that measure of trust and surrender…

It must be something like the feeling of being reunited with your herd…

Or winning gold…

Those three words are said too much, they're not enough... (photo: Starshine)
