While cleaning out drawers, I came across something I had torn out of a
Phelans catalog years ago. It is by Albert Borgmann from "Crossing the
Postmodern Divide" 1992. Hope you enjoy it. Diana Benson/Joplin

You cannot remain unmoved by the
gentleness and conformation of a
well-bred and well-trained horse - more
than a thousand pounds of big-boned,
well-muscled animal, slick of coat and
sweet of smell, obedient and mannerly,
and yet forever a menace with its
innocent power and ineradicable
inclination to seek refuge in flight, and
always a burden with its need to be fed,
wormed, and shod, with its liability to
cuts and infections, to laming and
heaves. But when it greets you with a
nicker, nuzzles your chest, and regards
you with a large and liquid eye, the
question of where you want to be and
what you want to do has been answered.
