Stillness 4-13

beyond courage, beyond commitment, beyond determination – is love. 

At times we are asked to do something that feels beyond what we are capable of. A monstrous hand of despair and hopelessness reaches out to our soul to warn and terrify us. What can be done? Yes, be committed to your task anyway. Yes, be determined and gallop through the terror. Yes, be brave. But how? In the stillness of the wildest gallop through life, even when your heart pounds in ghastly horror at the great hand of fate that seems to be pulling you off your horse, breathe into stillness … and remember that you love. You love your horse, your life, your friends, the earth, your soul, your life. Breathe into your fear, breathe into your courage. There you’ll find quiet, infinite love.
