This is how I want to feel with my horses, with my dogs and cats and even with my human companions.  Like an animal among animals.  Uncovered, included, revealed, in repose.  This painting by Franz Marc feels luxurious, pensive and intimate.  I love the way she is held in the curves and angles of the landscape and its inhabitants.  When I make my daily pilgrimage to the stable, that is what I am seeking – that quality of settling into presence, being present, sharing the moment.
