☾
"I was afraid, beause I could not control him.
But I learned to tame him and my fear.
He had no vigour and I had to bring it for the two of us.
He had no calmness and I had to calm down both of us.
I had a bad temper and I hit my horse.
I felt sorry and learned to control myself.
His eyes were faithful and said nothing about my insufficency.
☾
My horse is my mirror that shows my good and my bad moods unmodified. Look into the eyes of your horse, but don't be frightened by the truth."
