I made this recording of the sacred Mrityunjaya healing mantra in my van last summer, and set it too some footage of me goofing around with horses and feeding them apples. This is my life now in Wyoming. The land in the video is my own, my home. The prairie brings me much peace andContinue reading “New recording and video!”

Find my new Rumble Channel here, and PLEASE subscribe! This above video is my last post on YouTube, and my last interaction with the Google/Youtube corporation. I will no longer tolerate YouTube’s brazen suppression of free expression and manipulation of information, motivated by it’s extreme political bias and the role it plays in innovating theContinue reading “I have deleted all of my content from YouTube and moved to Rumble…”

The Mahabharata is without question the most moving, enlightening, mystifying, and compelling book I have ever read. I truly believe it is a gift to humanity and should be read by all people who yearn to understand the riddle of Life more deeply, by all seekers of Truth. Yet the Mahabharata is anything but aContinue reading “The Mahabharata”

10/16/21 I never really cared too much for winter on the east coast. The snow tends to be slushy and dirty, filled with grime from traffic, that can linger for weeks after a storm creating a soggy and depressive atmosphere. The clouds, too, linger around and whole months can go by in a dull, overcast,Continue reading “WHD – Snow Horses”

10/07/21 My relationship continues to evolve with the eight horses I have access to on a daily basis, my neighbor’s herd of four (three geldings and a mare), the four grazing on my land (1 gelding and three mares). An interesting an unexpected lesson that the alpha’s of each herd taught me recently, is thatContinue reading “WHD – The Alpha & The Omega”

It fascinates how much depth there is in getting to know horses, how many layers. Not having spent much time around horses, at first I was getting to know the general nature and temperament of the animal, how they communicate, what they do and don’t like. Then I discovered what it’s like to establish familiarityContinue reading “WHD – A Tale Of Two Herds”

I just wanted to show off my new diner booth. All my life I’ve felt very comfortable in a diner booth with a cup of coffee and a good book or a deck of cards, and I’ve spent countless hours of my life doing just such. I first broke through and fell in love withContinue reading “Content in my diner booth”

I now have FOUR horses grazing on my property until winter sets in. As a person who adores animals but has never had much experience with horses, this has been a real blessing and joy for me to get to interact with this small herd on a daily basis. I’m really trying to have noContinue reading “Wyoming Horse Diary 9/29/21”

I know next to nothing about horses, or at least I didn’t up until two months ago.  That’s the whole point of this blog; it is about my own personal discovery of horses, not what I’ve been taught or read in a book, but what I come to understand about these graceful beasts through myContinue reading “Wyoming Horse Diary – Intro”

…and why I’ve been out of touch. For those of you who want the TLDR version, in short, I bought a 40 acre ranch in North Eastern Wyoming, right on the edge of the Black Hills, half an hour from Devil’s Tower.  The ranch has no covenants, meaning I can do whatever I want, andContinue reading “What I’ve Been Up To All Summer…”
