What I've come to know from experience is this: When we connect with horses their healing presence, souls and energy help to regulate our nervous systems and calm us down.
This is the Year of the Fire Horse according to the Chinese Zodiac and the healing energy of horse spirit is among us. That said, I am honored to blend my lifelong love of horses and the wisdom of the angelic realm for ultimate support and guidance.
Recently, I have been contemplating the fascinating and multi-layered dialogue around friendship. Mostly stimulated by the great memories I've recently experienced after re-uniting with friends I had made 22 years ago. They are all European. I was the only American in the group.

Touring the Mediterranean's Ancient World, one expects to see temples, ruins, tombs, columns, stone walkways, old ceramic pots, statues and the like. Not to disappoint--you will see all of these amazing, awe-inspiring artifacts and structures. If you are like me, this is a huge anticipation point. I fell in love with the Ancient World's lore and beauty back in my college days during several Humanities courses.

It's 5 a.m.. The alarm clock is no regular, electronic one. This one arrives in the form of a gentle Indian voice outside our Swiss style tent. "Good morning, Sir". Pause for a few beats. "Good morning, Sir". Pause, repeat. Finally, roused from sleepy slumber Eric replies, "Hello". Slowly, he gets out of bed, walks to our tent fly doorway and thanks the friendly staffer at Jim's Jungle Retreat for the wake-up reminder.
