I'm really into the way we are all connected...and of course I share your philosophy regarding animals. It's all about humility, helping others, respecting the earth and all that's in it...the list goes on. You and Brett are my kind of people.Lori Skooghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03458010787337492501noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964477228579644195.post-75687993830106364502011-09-06T15:53:45.112-07:002011-09-06T15:53:45.112-07:00Thank you for this very personal look into your wa...Thank you for this very personal look into your way of life. Guiding someone in need, like the woman in prison, sounds like an incredible experience. I have enjoyed helping people through therapeutic riding. I gave lessons to a woman who could not walk for six years. She was unable to remember my name and did not always have the most pleasant disposition, but she loved riding and her time in the saddle. I really get that.<br /><br />By contrast, I am not religious. However, I completely understand having a ministry to animals and nature. I feel like a hippie saying this, but I feel very connected to nature. To me, horses are the ideal vessel of nature: beautifully mysterious, powerful yet gentle, and fragile.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07335385366138424092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4964477228579644195.post-13862968675659957482011-09-06T15:21:10.583-07:002011-09-06T15:21:10.583-07:00i was raised catholic but gave it up many years ag...i was raised catholic but gave it up many years ago after a divorce - i felt i was no longer wanted. so i found my own spirituality in living a good life, appreciating and worshipping in the beauty all around me. i believe in the spirit and that we are all connected to it/in it. i also believe there are other ways to reach spirituality besides jesus. i know that would not make me popular with a lot of christians, but i take a more all-encompassing view of our souls and faiths.TexWisGirlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510099344729038541noreply@blogger.com
