From time to time, people tell me, "lighten up, it's just a horse" or,
"that's a lot of money for just a horse".
They don't understand the distance traveled, the time spent, or the
costs involved for "just a horse."
Some of my proudest moments have come about with "just a horse."
Many hours have passed when my only company was "just a horse"
but I did not once feel slighted. Some of my saddest moments have
been brought about by "just a horse" and in those days of darkness,
the gentle touch of "just a horse" gave me comfort and reason to
overcome the day.
If you, too, think it's "just a horse" then you will probably
understand phrases like "just a friend, just a sunrise, or just a
promise."
"Just a horse" brings into my life the very essence of friendship,
trust, and pure unbridled joy.
"Just a horse" brings out the compassion and patience that make
me a better person. Because of "just a horse" I will rise early, take
long walks and look longingly to the future.
So for me and folks like me, it's not "just a horse" but an
embodiment of many of the hopes and dreams of the future, the
fond memories of the past, and the pure joy of the moment.
"Just a horse" brings out what's good in me and diverts my
thoughts away from myself and the worries of the day.
I hope that someday they can understand that it's not "just a
horse" but the thing that gives me humanity and keeps me from
being "just a woman, or just a man."
So the next time you hear the phrase "just a horse" - just smile,
because they "just" don't understand…..
"that's a lot of money for just a horse".
