Yesterday I met these horses.
Calm. Neutral. An all-encompassing presence.
I did not expect anything.
I felt accepted in a natural, unremarkable way.
My is-ness.
I felt the horsiness of the horses.
I was crying, and through the tears something was bubbling:
Am I allowed?
I don’t know if I can.
Is this really happening?
Then silence wrapped around us.
Something shifted.
Today I went back, this time with my phone, to make a photo of us.
I sang a few songs.
I danced in my humanness
