Rubin: So there’s some great benefit in — do you know what I’m saying? Out of, I think I even used the word “ignorance” in the book. There’s great wisdom and ignorance. [music: “Scratcher” by Blue Dot Sessions] Tippett: Okay, this is just another little anecdote, but it fascinated me. And I want to say, where does this fit in,... posted on Nov 30 -0001 (30 reads)

would seem that, religion aside, we do better when we stay curious and in awe, with less focus on command and control of our world. Orland speaks to me about the will, how it is something to relinquish, to surrender. He suggests we should learn how we can be of service and let that guide our decisions. I struggle with all of this as I feel the stress and sadness of our crumbling context and wish to shape a viable path forward for future generations – even just for myself! Speaking with wisdom keepers like Orland reminds me that there are depths to our capacity we rarely, if ever, explore in our modern world ruled by iPhones and rampant, relentless schedules.

Just as we were out in the field, this crazy storm came in. To be out in the field with the animals and to see how they all work together and what they did when the storm rolled in was just so amazing. To see animals so in tune with mother nature. All the horses got together and they all faced the same way. They just stopped what they were doing and waited for the storm to pass. It was really beautiful to see.
