Equines seem like contemplatives to me, there are moments when I see them standing quietly, as if meditating, as if pondering the world. I imagine they are sending out messages to us, Maria and I have been receiving them for some time. Usually, I just assume that I am mad, but as I get to know donkeys and horses and spend so much time writing about them, I am seeing it differently. Equines hold the mystery of the universe in their hearts, once you learn to listen to them, you see the world in a different way. I suppose I am mad, I wouldn’t deny it, but I think they hold a lot of the world’s magic in their bodies.
