A friend from work asked me what my best day out on a horse was. This is it:
It was one of the last days my friend Carrie was here before she moved to Texas. We've known each other since 6th grade and both were (and still are) obsessed with horses. We rode bareback in the hills of Elfin Forest and took the horses into a gallop. I remember gripping the mane...and feeling the rush of speed and power...and running under a canopy of oak tree branches that were spilling in gold bits of sunlight...and seeing Carrie and her horse in front of me, twisting around the bend......and feeling so small but so wild.
That's a memory I'll always hold on to.

“The only people for me are the mad ones, the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who never yawn or say a commonplace thing, but burn, burn, burn, like fabulous yellow roman candles exploding like spiders across the stars and in the middle you see the blue centerlight pop and everybody goes "Awww!” - Jack Kerouac
“We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls." - Mother Teresa
