Nature is in control

June 7, 2007 

We as humans have the tendency to control yet today I discovered again that nature can’t be controlled. All night it hard poured down with rain causing floods, fallen trees and bridged washed away.Now 7 hours later the sky is almost clear. Just a few white clouds in the sky and the sun is slowly disappearing behind a mountain covered with snow. The birds are singing again, the wind has changed into a light breeze and suddenly it feels very peaceful. 

I needed to be outside for awhile and sit in a paddock with ten beautiful polo horses grazing around me.Slowly they come closer, wanting to check me out. This morning they were all cuddled up trying to get some shelter from the trees and each other. Now they are all spread out, filling their stomachs with moist grass. Their grazing has a special rhythm, it almost sounds like an orchestra.
