Abstract
Riding embodies a rare friendship in solitude. In the quiet way it carries me through life, it is my metaphor. On horseback, I am never travelling alone. My thoughts, my joys, and my tensions are felt keenly, so I’m called upon to pay attention to my own subtleties and exercise care with those who look to me for leadership. If I am conscientious and honest, the journey will be more joyous than it might otherwise have been. If I grow arrogant or careless, I am apt to end up in a ditch with mud on my face.
