Not politics, religion; not money or guns.
Answer deep and pure,
in our heart, soul; our Earth and Sun.

(WordPress Photo Challenge is a weekly prompt to share a photo–I enjoy twisting these macro prompts to share our micro life here on the Colorado prairie. My photos are taken with my phone, on my farm. No psych, definitely not high tech.)
Anna, I was just talking about this idea yesterday with good friends who are fascinated by my changed life in the last four years. I tried to explain that yes horses can be dangerous; they are expensive; the require a lot of attention and they can be stubborn. But almost every day Aruna will slowly walk over to me when I am cleaning their feeding area, lower her head very slowly and I will put my head on her forehead and I will stare into the exposed eye. And she stares back. Sometimes she will do that for only ten seconds. Other times she will do it for maybe a minute or two. I really do not know because it is an eternal moment. When that happens, I know why these magnificent creatures have changed my life. That is what I get when I look at your picture.
I get hung up on taking photos of eyes, and looking into them all day long. Yes, that is the eternal moment. Trite as it sounds, even after a life with horses, I fall in love each time, all over again, humble and besotted. They changed my life too. Thanks, Fred.
I still think about the times when Chico would walk up & just put his head against my chest – usually it was when he wasn’t feeling too good, but not always! Miss that.
Wonderful memory, Maggie. It’s still real.
