Although one could say that too many horses is a bit much, I have never found this to be true. The wall behind my computer screen proves this. In my case, horses are one tool for gaining emancipation. Each person has his or her own. The work is to find them and then use them appropriately.
For example, at a certain time I found drawing to be very helpful, and a source of knowledge to my personal path. I did A LOT of drawing. I still enjoy going back to them and thinking about what triggered them. A sort of looking back at the past as a portent of the future….

Seeing horses as a tool for emancipation is new for me, but it fits very well. I used to want to have a horse of my own (and why not, my sister had one) and I’m sure that was about my emancipation.
But now I want one for my wife; I feel not as a tool for emancipation but to foster her becoming connected to things larger than herself. On the other hand, maybe nurturing that external self-view is one element of the emancipation process.
Emancipation has become a life-long process for me. It seems to go in level or layers. One can never tell when a new level will take the place of the last one. One’s emancipation is to be set free of some restriction, right? Most of my experience with emancipation has been to gain freedom from self-imposed restrictions. They seem to never end. Always another one lurking in the far reaches of my consciousness. Thanks for stimulating my brain to think about this subject.
Drawing for me is a outward expression of inner wanderings. There is no place in any world art can’t take you. From a doodle to master piece art has no boundaries and it’s timeless. It comes as no get surprise to me Brenda,with your great mind,
that you draw. You paint elegant pictures with words easly enough.
