Forest Horses

YEHOSHUA'S REFLECTIONS

Driving through the Limonim Forest in the north of Israel, my wife and I came across these horses strolling through the trees. Seeing these large and powerful creatures, I automatically assumed that we should remain in the car for safety. But my wife grew up riding horses, so she jumped out and began to coerce them to come say hello. Within just a couple minutes, these horses were so gently coming over and nibbling snacks out of her hand. I decided to take advantage of the moment as their attention was turned towards us and capture a photo of their almost surreal, natural beauty within the trees. Afterward, my wife explained to me that the most important part of riding horses is the ability to feel one with the horse, like one unit. This really struck me, that two drastically different species are able to interact and become as one. We continued to discuss that perhaps the horse is a gateway to being able to experience the oneness of all of nature. This experience provided invaluable insight for me: instead of remaining hidden away in our comfort zone, we have the ability to extend ourselves and interact with the world around us, thus revealing the oneness of all of existence.
