These trails don’t know about our problems in the world. The horses happily swash their tails. The sky, clouds and distant hills stand out, and command calm.
The humidity makes each ride sweaty sauna. It’s only low 80’s but this is not common in Colorado this time of year. Could mean a hot Indian summer in September, or something else.
The daily ride is healing salve on frayed nerves. Unconscious concerns reconcile with conscious thinking. Worries dissolve, and some confidence is found. At the end of the ride, you are faced forward, thinking positively about tomorrow.
