To the lady worrying about the decisions for her horse as it reaches old age and infirmity...
Our horses are our teachers. They teach us how to
take hold, how to let go, how to be brave, how to cry, how to live and how to
die. We are so afraid to feel the pain, yet they are there to teach us how to
do that too. They teach us things we never will forget. No, we are not the same
after loss. Many times we discover that we cannot embrace new loves with the
same old wild abandon as before. Perhaps we merely love more
realistically. Loving hurts because it
takes us into the depths of life's journey. But, such is the journey in life, and you
won't let the mare down. You will love, let her go when it is time, and allow her
memory to guide you with the youngsters. Yes, loving hurts--because
it takes us into the depths of life's journey, but it is worth it.
