Just finished breakfast after walking the dogs and doing some laundry. Yesterday was the "day after", some pain and pretty exhausted after the course on Tuesday. A bit stiff today, especially the neck, but I hope it will loosen up a bit through the day. It is time for some training at the physiotherapist again and my plan for today is some jogging/walking (you know that thing at the fitness-center), some exercises with slings and on the gymnastic ball. And not to forget stretching.
Another walk with the babies and I will be picked up by a friend. Tonight it's lecture time and I am really looking forward to it! It will be with an expert on wolves and he is going to talk about how to choose the right pup, how the dog/puppy develops and what destroys a dogs ability to master. I have listened to another lecture with this guy before and really liked it, so I hope this one will be as good as the last one.
I am working on a website for a friend at the moment and visited her farm yesterday in order to take some more pictures. I got some very nice ones of the horse I use to ride:
You know the feeling og having kind of a soulmate? Richard Bach says:
"A soulmate is someone who has locks that fit our keys, and keys to fit our locks. When we feel safe enough to open the locks, our truest selves step out and we can be completely and honestly who we are; we can be loved for who we are and not for who we’re pretending to be. Each unveils the best part of the other. No matter what else goes wrong around us, with that one person we’re safe in our own paradise. Our soulmate is someone who shares our deepest longings, our sense of direction. When we’re two balloons, and together our direction is up, chances are we’ve found the right person. Our soulmate is the one who makes life come to life.”
That is what I feel when I am together with this boy. I don't believe that we only can have human soulmates and neither only one, it is this special connection between two individuals. I also feel deeply connected to my dogs, a strong relationship based on trust and love. But it somehow is a bit different with a horse. I don't really know why. Perhaps because it is a bigger animal? More strength and power, a bigger creature to lean against maybe?
When I am together with him I can let go of everything, I can just be myself, I can have the feelings I have. I can cry, I can laugh, I can be angry. He responds to it and he understands. I can relax and let go of any struggles. When sitting on his back I feel like we are one. I feel safe and I feel whole. I feel safe when I am together with the dogs too, having one of them sleeping on my chest or just sitting on my lap and squeezing my head into their fur. I can forget about life being difficult for even some minutes and that is a great feeling. I need that, I need someone to love me no matter what, everybody needs that.
Unconditional love. Is that even possible between humans?
Do you have a soulmate?
