I have learned so much from my Anishinaabe teachers.
There are four aspects to relationship according to these teachings:-
RESPECT - How do you live in respect for the horse as a sentient being with needs different from our own.
RESPONSIBILITY - What do you view as your responsibility in this relationship - beyond day-to-day care giving?
RELATIONSHIP - When you think of your relationship to your horse from your horse's point of view - how might you feel towards your human?
RECIPROCITY - In Braiding Sweetgrass, reciprocity is the central theme, highlighting the interconnectedness between humans and the natural world. It emphasizes that humans have a responsibility to give back to the Earth in exchange for the gifts it provides. This reciprocal relationship extends to all living things, recognizing them as relatives and teachers. How do you bring reciprocity to your horse relationship?
I look forward to your thoughts....
