some women are wild horses ~ part 2

Written by my incredibly wise and enlightened husband in July 2008. He wrote this after realizing that for many years he had taken me for granted. To be fair, I had taken him for granted too. For him to understand me in ways he hasn't before, well, I can't help but be deeply grateful to God for giving me such a wonderful and affirming man.

You can see it in their eyes...the fire, the knowing look, the sense of purpose. It's an inner strength, a deeply complex personality that defies all efforts to be controlled by others. You can't put your finger on it, but it's there...it's real, it's unmistakable. It's a passion, be it ever so quiet, that dwells just below the surface in many women. It's a desire to be free, to run, to pursue the desires of one's heart. To learn, to create, to develop God-given giftings and explore the world as they see it. In many ways, this passion, this need to be free can only be compared to the strength and passion of a wild horse...free, unbridled and strong.
