“Why this cult of wilderness?... because we like the taste of freedom; because we like the smell of danger.” —Edward Abbey

Life moves along without me whether I participate or not. It’s so much better to be vulnerably living life in the moment than to watch it pass by without me from the shadowy edges of regret.

[Iris Gardner @onlyirisgardner]

One of the best lessons I’ve learned in my life is that beautiful moments only happen for me when I put myself in them. When I get up early and catch the horses playing as the mist lifts off the land, when I round up the family to walk the whole herd up to the top pasture just for the fun of it, when I ride out an afternoon thunderstorm under a shed roof and wait for that golden storm cloud sunshine to reemerge…when I take time to watch a moment of sweetness between my daughter and an old horse….

@PhantomCrkRanch @JasonNGardner Somewhere I wrote a post about growing up in the wilderness being a great privilege in my life. I wish all kids could have that as a start. ❤️
