"To me it seems that part of being in the ever-present ‘present’ is to enjoy life as it comes and to know that I can’t step in the same river twice. "

Her post is wonderful. Read it all.

I love to see women drive. A horse and cart, that is. In their driving hats and skirts, they are to me the epitome of grace. The skill and mastery needed for this disappearing art requires a certain level of maturity and experience, in my humble opinion. My daughter J. and I are dreaming of the day when we will drive our Percheron horse Toby at the New Mexico State Fair.

J. will drive. I'll ride gunshot. Sporting a hat with feathers.

These superb horsewomen are beautiful, capable ladies all.
