Ready
.
you don’t need to forget
but you’re welcome to try
like a sneeze sneaking up for a very long time
I am coming
so get ready, or not
there are more stars in the sky
when there are no other lights
have you seen them with your very own eyes
the glorious stories they tell
from before we were born
have burned longer than we’ll all be alive
while we waste precious breath
hissing words we’ll regret
once we reclaim all our senses and pride
who is coming
are they ready, or not
our better angels flying round
every space in between
fill the cracks in our delicate minds
reminds us of something else
we might forget to apply
sending love is better than saying goodbye
there’s only so much time left
gather all of your pets
and paint portraits to remember them by
we are going
so be ready, or not

Unparalleled Escapades
Indeed, there is an element of sadness today, with the moving of our horses back to their previous home, but we are making equal effort to frame their transfer in a positive light. Think of it as a graduation ceremony. Like children who are sent off to school for a period of years, these horses came to live with us for five and a half years. I think they taught us a lot more than we taught them in that time.
Now they have completed this phase of life with us and are going back home. We will use the memories and lessons of our unparalleled escapades together as the foundation for whatever comes next.
Thank you to all of you who are thinking of us today, and sending love and support! We are soaking it up as a healing balm for the inherent sorrow of parting from these beloved creatures, while also using it to bolster our spirits to properly honor the equine wisdom bestowed upon us over the years.
