The lessons that guide us to enlightenment are all around us for the taking...once we open our minds and our eyes.

The lessons that guide us to enlightenment are all around us for the
taking...once we open our minds and our eyes.

Horses taught me many a lesson on the road to enlightenment.

There are 3 type of horses:

The first group is composed of lazy or low energy horse that would
only move a little fast when the whip was used. Other than that they
always had their head down grazing and the only time they were in any
hurry was to get back to the stable.

The second group were good balanced horses whether fast or slow.

The third group were high spirited horses and did not like to behave
or run slow - but excelled at fast riding.

It is relatively the same with people. There are the high capacity
people and the low capacity people and all sorts in between.

Sometime we get mad and think humans or horses are machines and all
are fungible commodities. Well, they are not. We each have different
abilities and comfort capabilities and once we accept this we can
release the expectation that people or horses should be perfect.
Always remember expectations are pre-planned resentments.

Inner peace is highly overrated, and it is often based on a pack of
comforting lies.

You know, I never thought of that stuff from the back end as
"enlightenment." We always called it "horse shit."
