Equestrian Escape
December 1, 2017
I can stop looking for reasons to keep doing this, at least for today.
This is it. This is why.
I can tell even before our approach.
This is the perfect canter, the perfect spot, the perfect jump.
We are weightless, hovering above painted poles for endless moments, until the earth claims us once again.
A gentle landing, expected and in due time.
We revel in the knowledge that we can escape whenever we please.
