High Plains Trek
The cabin in the woods had been abandoned for years, but one night, a candle burned in the window. I remember that trek as if it was just yesterday but my aching old bones tell me it was a long time ago now. Sitting a horse in steep country for a full day is no longer on my list of fun things to do nor is sleeping rough in regions that the vagaries of weather can kill you.

She tethers me
We hold paws under the desk while I write these words. Her warm fur comforting against my bare skin, feeling her gentle breathing..in out..in out. Her eyes are closed and she is exuding calmness and peace. She brings down my heart rate simply through the lightest touch of our bodies. She centres me and brings me calm. It washes over me, gently, warmly. I feel safe, unconditionally loved. I know that this peace only lasts just so long , as anything in life does. At some stage she will wake and stretch, her gentle eyes will get that cheeky gleam and she will shake off her nap and be ready for some mischief.

Nap like a dog
Something had to crack, it just had too. The pressures of the last six years had eroded me to the point of ghost thin mentally and emotionally. The fatigue had become overwhelming with little hope of improvement or respite in sight. I felt trapped by responsibilities and frankly quite stupid that I had allowed these to be forced onto me by clever folk who manipulate through guilt.

Watching without judgement
My day had been long and emotionally draining, people will do that to you. They don't usually realise the toll they take on others but their confusions and need for clarity make them hammer you with psychic white noise, questions, questions, questions. Sadly they are not often ready for the answers that will give them the clarity they seek. Cognitive dissonance: the state of having inconsistent thoughts, beliefs, or attitudes, especially as relating to behavioural decisions and attitude change.
