Swirling

It wasn’t just the wind that has sent things swirling. My brain has been on one today, with random thoughts swirling about all over the place.

There’s so much negativity and horrific stuff in the world right now. It’s hard to know what to think about anything.

It makes you feel so powerless. How can we stop it? We are slowly destroying ourselves. No other species does that. Well maybe bacteria. Says a lot. We are destroying our society, destroying our environment, poisoning our water and food sources. It’s madness when you look at it. It makes my head hurt.

And for what? Ideology? Greed? Who knows anymore. Who knows what to believe anymore either. There’s a lot of opinions and few facts out there.

I was getting myself wound up about it all. So I went and walked my dog (while I am still allowed to have one) and rode my horse (while I can still afford one).

Mother Nature did her stuff. I came back windswept and interesting! The wind was the ‘stop you in your tracks’ type. So that blew some of my thoughts away…

Bert loves the wind. He was bouncing around, ears flapping, tail wagging. Buddy, not so much today. He was bouncing around too, ears twitching, tail all over the place. One thing I’ll say for a dressage saddle, it keeps you in place. There were a few ‘jump to the centre line’ moments.

The wind is still howling. The world is still turning. Whatever happens, I will be OK. I’m doing my best to control the controllables. Wish me luck…!
