for this year of magic, of change in consciousness, i’m featuring each month a horse from the trail of painted ponies, a horse symbolizing the energy of the moon and who better to represent the moon of stardust than, yes, the magician who leads us off… among certain plains tribes, the magician is known as a special figure because she possesses supernatural powers, the ability to hear and speak with horses, the creatures imbued with the power of spirit flight of liberation, the vehicle of horsepower, of free flight into the magical realm of dreamtime… so in this turning of the new year, may we step up  and into the ancient dream of the earth that is rising anew, the dream singing of our oneness, of our interconnectedness of our liberation…

to be with a horse is to ride the sky

kissing separation and constriction goodbye

to be with a horse is to leap into an ocean

as vast and embracing as the radiance of sun

to be with a horse is to feel sheltered

healing each other without a single word

to be with a horse is feeling the wind

beneath broken wings, now, on the mend

to be with a horse is to journey into core

coming home to the heart of the shore
