I remember what happened to Terry, and could not begin to understand how it did ... last breaths ... last hopes .... last chances .... humiliating to her spirit and soul ...
Which is why I, at least, lurked here and have never posted once before ...
You see, I was taken by the dignity of it all ... and the charity ... the willingness to bring ALL forth to save a noble animal ... to fix things ... to find a way to let this creature back out ... fit and fine and ready to show us beauty only he and his kind can bring to us .... we can not mimic it, duplicate it ... pretend it ... it made him valuable to me ... his simple courage humbled me ... he did what needed to be done, and so few of us know how to do that while looking so very, splendidly sure of themselves ...
Of course he was "just a horse" ... but his journey became ours ... in single ways ... individual ways.
Can you understand that?!
I mean this sincerely: Concentrate on helping humans. Humans are more valuable in God's sight than animals. It's easier to help animals but it's the humans that have infinite worth in God's perspective.
