v  There is nothing to chase after.  We can go back to ourselves, enjoy our breathing, our smiling, ourselves, and our beautiful environment. 

I ask my husband to take a picture of me sitting cross-legged completely under my horse, Dusty.  I want to show his extreme gentleness and patience.  As I place myself under him, my soulmate pup, Gabriel, lies down beside me and my eldest cat, Kalifornia saunters up to me.  I am filled with gratitude and surrounded by love.  My chest expands as a wave of warmth washes over me, my breathing is slow and regulated, my cheeks tingle as I smile.
