I was prepared to be sad today, the predicted cold came overnight and I prayed for calm and strength to get through today....has it really been 3 yrs since my Sweet Potato Pie Galloped with no pain, no ails across that Rainbow Bridge? it seems like yesterday that I snuggled into his long mane and breathed in his essence. Maybe because not a day goes by that he is not right there in my , still.....
But as I slumbered, a beautiful thing happened and touched my as I slowly regained my awake-ness. The state between deep slumber and full alertness.
I was struck by the beauty that surrounded me and thought to myself, ...this is lovely, the brilliant fall colors shimmered around me, and I glided along a clear path, thinking how I loved those fall trail rides when show season was done, and we could be just horse and rider, my big black steed and his lady, and my smiled... I looked back down from gazing at the stunning tree tops, and I was looking through a set of alert black ears, and his head was a- nodding and he was a -walking....hitting the perfect "lick" that beautiful sound I loved ...ticka-tocka-ticka tocka.....
I said "PRIDE!!!!.... how blessed am I that you came to see me today of all days...! I thought I was going to be broken all day!"
he turned his head like he used to do when questioning my judgement about moving forward, like is the river too deep...lol...and "thought" to me, Of course I would be here today.... it is the anniversary of the day you LOVED me enough....
I awoke fully a short while later, and still could smell him... I smiled and held that surreal feeling for several minutes before starting my morning prayers.
I am so so blessed.....
