Wild Horse Play

A few weeks ago, I was driving to a friend’s house. I was going west on the Loop 202/Red Mountain freeway. I was almost to my location, when my friend called me and told me to take my time that he was still working. Since I had a little time to kill, I decided to drive the long way to my friend’s house.

Getting off of the freeway, I head in the direction of North on Power Rd, driving towards the Bee-Line Highway. Aprox. 1 mile into my new direction, my friend called and said that he was ready to leave work and that I could head in his direction. I immediately made a U-turn instead of going the scenic route like I intended. Right after my u-turn, my friend called back and said that he need to run an errand and was going to go before I got to his location. So I decided to make another u-turn and go the scenic route again. After talking to my friend for a 3rd time, I remember thinking to myself, "Gees buddy, would you make up your mind?"

So now I am driving North again on Power Rd, going to the Bee-Line Highway. Approx. 7 miles into my drive, which was around 6pm, the sun was setting and the sky was a gorgeous purple, orange, pink and yellow. On my right side, out of the corner of my eye, I saw a pack of Wild Horse's getting ready to cross the street. I was so close to them that I thought I was going to hit them with my car. I immediately pulled to the side of the road and engaged in watching them cross the highway. There were 6 of them, one white, one black, one grey, and three brown horses. The site was magnificent. Never before have I seen a pack of wild horses cross the road. As they were crossing, they started to play with each other. Rubbing up against one another and jumping on each other. I was mesmerized. What a beautiful sight! After a moment of watching them, I could no longer see the horses. I was very excited about this experience! At this point my friend called me back and said "Where are you?" I explained what I saw and that I would be right over. I no longer need to go the scenic route, so for the fourth time, I made another u-turn and headed in the direction on my friend.

I felt like this experience was from GOD. I was not going to even drive the scenic route, but something (besides my friend) pulled my in that direction. I needed to see those horses. A couple days after this experience, I was telling my story to a friend at school. When I was telling the story, it dawned on me what the message was.

The message the horses gave me was, even though they were in route to their next destination they took time to play with each other. Play is so important. It keeps our energies and your hearts light. It is ok to play with each other, even when we are getting to our next destinations. Sometimes my life gets so complicated that I do not stop to play. Play helps me and you be open to our true selves.

If we take time to change the lens we are looking through we will realize life is meant to be fun and full of happiness, not stress and depress. Take time to play EVERYDAY!

Namaste,
