The season of Interbeing: Partnering with Horses to Awaken Our Shared Connection
This reflection chronicles a transformative encounter at the arena where the barriers between ego, self, and other dissolve through the wisdom of the horse. By observing a couple as they partner with a Thoroughbred named Caspian, the piece illustrates the journey from isolated existence to the realization of “inter-being.” Guided by the rhythmic presence of the horses and the mirroring patterns of nature, the narrative explores how letting go of the need to “make” things happen allows for a surrender into a unified field of love, revealing our shared, innate oneness and the gifts lying therein.
Sufis and Surfers: What Do They Have in Common This Valentine’s Day?
This reflection draws a poetic parallel between the mystical devotion of Sufism and the sacred connection surfers find within the ocean. By comparing the surfer’s dance with a wave to the “whirling dervish” of the Sufi tradition, the piece explores how both paths lead to a state of grace, reverence, and oneness. Through the timeless wisdom of Rumi, it invites readers to move beyond the surface, open their hearts to divinity, and surrender to the flow of love that connects all life.
