I love Nature and the outdoors and especially the ocean and especially horses.
I am 70 years old.
I am an MBSR (Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction) teacher and consultant currently working at a Wild Mustang Rescue Sanctuary as a learning horseman, trainer and ranch hand.
I am collaborating with a horse trainer friend and we are writing a book about horses that tells the important story that horses need a new kind of understanding and training, and that horses are a wonderful way to learn to communicate and commune with the natural world.
I want to write this book from the point of view of Beginners Mind (a Zen meditation concept) - which is just like seeing thru childlike eyes in wonder with fresh non-judgmental mind - yet wise, childlike not “childish”. We want to illustrate our personal stories with horses - showing with pictures and text the many things we’ve learned and experienced, from a fresh point of view: that of being a companion and connection with Horse, and that they are not just a useful tool for humans, but much more.
Perhaps in a children’s book format that can expand into more like graphic novellas or manga stories.
I am very open to myself as an artist- I love drawing and painting and digital rendering and photography... but I am really unskilled/practiced. I need practice discipline!
This work I would love to be my new career! 🐴❤️🙏
