Description
Connections ...�
We�re visting one of my husband�s old friends who lives on a small ranch.
Rob owns several horses he wants us to meet so we have walked out to the corral. A cold wind has just brought them from the fields to the barn area ...
in the shelter of the buildings they soak up the Sun�s warmth, as we do too.
I�m not used to being around horses so am a little nervous ... but they�re not skittish.
Such beautiful creatures ... their eyes are gentle and their noses are so, so soft!
I remember ...
When I was about four years old I loved my imaginary horse ... a beautiful grey mare I�d named �Star� because of the white star-shaped marking on her forehead. We were inseparable ... and Time was mine then because I hadn�t yet started school. Many mornings I would put a blanket on the verandah railing and boost myself up ... in my imagination I was on Star�s back and we were walking down an old trail leading from the house.
She was part of my Life for several years ... and as I played with this image in my family room she returned to me .... through sweet, happy memories I�d tucked away so many years ago!
About this photo: I decided to let my imagination play with colors ... hidden colors. Then I thought about �energy�, �vibration� ... the world we don�t see most of the time. �Paint� came to mind. �Old Paint.�
And Gratitude ... for Life and for Imagination.
