As the thousand yard stare sets in, I'm forced to make a choice. A choice that, without horses, I wouldn't have been able notice. The awareness I have learned from studying the horse has allowed me to pay attention to the warning signs of things to come.
Today, I can feel the stare set in. A string of irritating events this morning, economic stress, and limitations from wildfire smoke brought the onset of a downward spiral that I have now interrupted. The thousand yard stare presented a new path to follow. This time, it was simple to shake it out. But its still on the cusp of creeping back in.
So. The next step is to play with my horse, talk it out, and help a friend.
