Yes, I keep watching the video now that they have gone home to their own pasture which is smaller so they sneak away for a run.

Thank you! Seeking the light is its own reward. The light sometimes finds you when it’s darkest.

This poem makes my heart sing! Seeing and hearing these horses run makes it soar xx Love from Totnes, Devon, Southwest England.

Thank you everyone for writing as we share in the horses’ joy as we turn to the light. They live down the other side of the hill and often come up here for the larger pasture to graze, so they know the way. And sometimes, you know how it is, they need a run. So they came up and then over time Sarah Samson whose land they share realized they were gone and came up too and took the video. But the other photo — well, they didn’t want to wait for her to awaken and came up, again, on their own. I had awakened for the first light and felt their presence and there they were, at home, as they should be on this earth.

Oh, this poem is so beautiful, Deena. And the horses, running, running, wild and free into the horizon. Every kindness, much love and gratitude
