Grounded



















To feel the earth, solid beneath your feet, and to feel secure that you can stand up to or run away from whatever comes at you, 


To draw power, sustenance, healing and energy from the storehouse of organic animal and plant material, alive or once-alive, and minerals transformed by time, in the form of grasses and grains that grow on this deep layer of history and biology. 


To feel the rhythmic vibrations of approaching land animals or the shudders of moving storms through the bottoms of your feet. 


To be a Horse must be an amazing thing.
