God’s Country; Pure Heaven

God’s Country

If there could be words for the most beautiful things in the world, what would be they?  They would not be from me, my mind, would they? Could they? The most beautiful things in the world are without words. And this was it. The geese in the hills, the horse, standing, the dog, sitting. The peachy blue colour of the horizon, offset by the mountains of blue and white. The mountains that will never tire my eyes. My eyes are the most beautiful part of me, because they can take-in, reflect all that is God, and those mountains. This life. The words are not words at all, they are not found in this life.

And I would die happy.

Last ride of the season

I rode my GSX-R out on this beautiful afternoon, slightly sad that it was the last ride of the season. From the farm you could see the new clouds of rain rolling in, a signal of the end of fall. I brushed Mac and hopped on, we rode calmly down the road, with a canter in there. I practiced my deep breathing, something I need to practice more, with horses being a means to relax, get away from the craziness at large. It is so quiet on the range.
