Shiloh, thank you!! I love how you get it. And I love that we get to share this with each other and with others as they learn to ride with joy through their human experiences of ecstasy and despair. Beautiful poem and beautiful painting!! This part resonates and feels like home. Thank you!!
But if we can pay attention
to the alchemical moment of change,
then the horse of ecstasy will let us ride and ride and ride.
And when despair comes, her shimmering jewels
will remind us… as they dim down into darkness,
only a glimmer of light remains, but still a glimmer
because you memorized the brightness
that was there before -
and to not demonize one or the other
or exalt one as better or worse.
To see both simultaneously as the human experience,
❤️🔥right on non✨time ! ! !

then something happens…..
I wish I could say it's understanding,
or even better… peace,
but it's more like just being here
and not resisting being here.
Love from a fellow rider. 💕 May you be blessed with jewels of peace.
What makes the ride so much sweeter, and more bearable, is galloping alongside best friends like you. I love you, Shi.
