Horses

I don't understand Your association with horses. I don't need to understand it in order to accept it. I don't understand all aspects of myself, so how could I possibly expect to understand all aspects of You?

When I think of Hellenic mythology, I think of horses and Poseidon. Truthfully, I don't really understand that, either. Horses are land animals. I remember a movie I watched as a child that had something to do with a unicorn...all the other unicorns were the foam when the waves of the ocean washed up to the shore, I think. I don't understand the horses and water. But again, I don't always have to understand in order to accept.

When I played the violin in the Temple, a hair came out of the bow. Bow hair was horse hair at one time. Maybe it still is for expensive bows. Mine is not. It is synthetic. The connection is still there, though. So I left the hair as an offering. 

Because I want to find You in all the parts of my life, and I hope that I am some meaningful part of Your existence. Not because I think that would make me powerful. Not in the common ways of thinking of power. After all, it must be some kind of power to have a meaningful relationship with You. It's not the kind of power that controls the world, though, or that would make one person "better" than another person. No... that's not what I hope for. And I don't have a strong idea of how I could be meaningful to You. But that's what a relationship is. And that matters to me. Because I love You.
