Willie Nelson: We have a lot to learn from horses
I love this quote from him:
The most superhuman thing about horses is the contrast between their unearthly strength and inherent gentleness. Humans abuse their power while horses use theirs only for good. I'd rather be a horse.
He also notes: Will Rogers said, "You know horses are smarter than people. You never heard of a horse going broke betting on people."

Hi bsb.
ReplyDeleteI've always had an affection for horses. One of my granddaughters, only 2 and half years old, really loves horses and can't ever pass up a chance for a ride. I can see grandpa buying a pony in the future.
And I had a chance to plug the "The Horse Whisperer", excellent book, Nicholas Evans is such a great writer bringing together different generations and attitudes to tell amazing stories. "The Loop" is another great read by him, a tale of wolves, and the clash old and new attitudes towards their place in nature.
The movie "The Horse Whisperer" was wonderful also, highly recommended even if your not a horse lover, and I've never seen Scarlett in a bad role, but I'm biased.
I was a Grandfather at 43, and blessed again at 44. Two granddaughters.
ReplyDeleteI have to watch those movies by myself. I don't want others seeing my emotions when I watch those kind of movies.
ReplyDeleteSometimes, it the happy parts that make me cry.
Nice to have grandchildren while you're so young!
ReplyDeleteAs for Willie Nelson, he's a treasure, and glad he's bringing this issue to people's attention. I would love it most of all if they stopped slaughtering all animals.
