"I am no longer with you, but let no tears fall or sorrow prevail...
When you see your reflection shimmer in the water, smile and know that I see your smile...
When you feel the cool grass beneath your feet, and the sun's warmth upon your back, know that I feel it also...
When you hear the leaves rustling in the wind, know it is my voice softly whispering to you...
When you see a horse in all its glory, dancing among a flowery paddock, know that I am dancing also...
When the wind swirls across your face, know that it is I who galloped past...
These words are truth. Have faith.
As long as beauty lives upon the Earth and in the stars, and love lives in every beat of every heart...
So then do I. So then do we all." ~ Love Barbaro
Thank you, EH :)

Giving this another try, EH! I reset my password!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for this update today:) Yes...celebrating Barbaro! Not lingering too long with sadness, but rejoicing this time around, instead! Rejoicing that he was here. He did what was asked of him. He raised awareness and taught so many of us so much, myself included! I'm forever grateful to Barbaro for the knowledge I've gained just by knowing him for such a short while! I love him forever and ever:)

Beautifully written. I love that photo of Barbaro, but I love all the photos of Barbaro! : )
ReplyDeleteOur Precious Barbaro was created to "perfection" by His Master who took Barbaro unto Himself. Sent to us to gather Barbaro's Famblee that would carry on his legacy to save his equine family from abuse and slaughter.
ReplyDeleteThere will never, never be another horse as magnificent and perfect as our beautiful bay colt.
Beautiful Barbaro: Always on my mind and forever in my heart.

Waitaminnit....*SLEW*...Hunny! I'm so sorry...I was over-anxious for your special day...it's the day AFTER Heart's Day...not the day before:( But I think you won't mind so much, the 'earliness' of my wishes....You can begin the celebration a couple days early, can't you?! I think it's always more fun stretching these Birthday Celebrations out as long as possible:)
