Me: Hey God.
God: Hello.....
Me: I'm falling apart. Can you put me back together?
God: I would rather not.
Me: Why?
God: Because you aren't a puzzle.
Me: What about all of the pieces of my life that are falling down onto the ground?
God: Let them stay there for a while. They fell off for a reason. Take some time and decide if you need any of those pieces back.
Me: You don't understand! I'm breaking down!
God: No - you don't understand. You are breaking through. What you are feeling are just growing pains. You are shedding the things and the people in your life that are holding you back. You aren't falling apart. You are falling into place. Relax. Take some deep breaths and allow those things you don't need anymore to fall off of you. Quit holding onto the pieces that don't fit you anymore. Let them fall off. Let them go.
Me: Once I start doing that, what will be left of me?
God: Only the very best pieces of you.
Me: I'm scared of changing.
God: I keep telling you - YOU AREN'T CHANGING!! YOU ARE BECOMING!
Me: Becoming who?
God: Becoming who I created you to be! A person of light and love and charity and hope and courage and joy and mercy and grace and compassion. I made you for more than the shallow pieces you have decided to adorn yourself with that you cling to with such greed and fear. Let those things fall off of you. I love you! Don't change! ... Become! Become! Become who I made you to be. I'm going to keep telling you this until you remember it.
Me: There goes another piece.
God: Yep. Let it be.
Me: So ... I'm not broken?
God: Of course Not! - but you are breaking like the dawn. It's a new day. Become!!!

It’s hard to work under these conditions. She was trying to tell me it was time for lunch. (She was a bit early.)

I wanted to share with you all a poem I heard recently that resonated with me.

"Don't take him up a mountain when he ain't been rode in weeks and don't put off the things he needs. Don't neglect his feet or teeth. Let the bit fall slowly when you drop it from his lips and get off just to check him should he ever fall or trip.
Don't slam the saddle on his back, don't be yanking on your reins, and remember, he can't tell you so be on the watch for signs of pain. Warm that cold bit up before you slip the bridle on and be patient in your training cause he's bound to get things wrong. Feed him a little heavy when that bitter cold sets in and pat him on the neck whether you lose or win. Take time to cool him out when he's worked up quite a sweat, the old timers had a right when they said don't put him away wet. If he's just standing there tied pull his cinch a little loose and don't be in a hurry, that horse should eat before you do. Lift the saddle up and let the cool wind bear back and take the pressure off his withers by tending the front of your saddle pad. Set his feet down easy when you're picking out his hooves and remember, he doesn't hurt you even though if he wanted to he could. Don't be too proud to rub his face and take the extra minute there too. To give your horse small kindnesses because he sure takes care of you.

As The Horse...

Some day I will be as forgiving as the horse.

Someday I will treat others, as a horse does, free from judgment.

Someday I will live in the moment and look at life free from the problems of yesterday or the worries of tomorrow, like a horse does.

Some day I will learn to soften my approach and ask, as the horse does.

Some day I will look for peace on all things, as the horse does.

Some day I will be as available as the horse when someone needs a shoulder to cry on.

Some day I will find the beauty in the simple things, as the horse does.

Maybe we should all look at life, as the horse does...
