On an extremely small, green planet, there was a large animal called “horse” that had four legs…
and not one of the legs felt it was separate from the other legs.
Each leg — of “horse” — walked and galloped in great beauty and harmony with the other legs;
had one or more of the legs felt it(they) was(were) separate from the other legs,
“horse” would kick and buck in disharmony.
Upon this diminutive planet, called “earth,” there were also billions of inhabitants, called “humans,”
and these “humans,” with bipedal legs, mostly thought that they were separate from those
upon other legs. They often fought in vicious wars and kicked others who walked and ran on two legs.
They also hunted and harmed many of those walking on four legs and were also often mindlessly indifferent
about the environment containing all the legs. However, a small few sagaciously and harmoniously realized
that their legs were not at all separate… and that none of the legs were really separate whatsoever.

Nice. Beautiful horses.
Thank you! Horses are always beautiful!
So well said, Thomas! Beautiful painting and photo. Thank you!
Thanks much, Amy! Very much appreciated! 🙂
Sadly your words are so true 😦 Can’t help but think the world and nature would do a lot better without most of the human race.
Lovely horses 🙂 Now, are they pinto, piebald, skewbald or none of these? I never know!
We humans can do a whole lot better! (pun intended) Horses, no matter what their color or breed is, don’t need to do a whole lot better!
