The revelation for Ray, that things were changing, came at a time when he was close to giving up.
After close to seven years of trying to understand Tom Dorrance, Ray rose one morning and said to himself – “Aw, to heck with it. I’ll just ride my horse for today”.
“I never had a better day in my life!”, Ray says.
“I saddled my horse and started off. When I looked in a direction that’s where the horse went. If I looked back, that’s where he went.
I thought - ‘My God, Tom said to ‘fix it up and let him find it’ - but I was so busy 'DOING' that I was getting in the horse’s way.
That was so powerful to me; a person can sometimes work too hard at something.’”
