Shine Up These Old Boots

My name is Katie. I'm from NorCal. I'm a construction management graduate ('17) working for a heavy civil contractor in the Bay Area. Into horses, country music, the outdoors, laid back bars and trucks (finally got my Cummins in August 2017!)

A million years before man they grazed the vast empty plains, living by voices only they could hear. They first came to know man as the hunted knows the hunter. Before he used horses for his labors, he killed them for meat. The alliance with man would forever be fragile. For the fear he struck deep into their hearts was too deep to be dislodged. Since that neolithic moment when a horse was first haltered, there were those among men who understood this. They could see into the creature’s soul and sooth the wounds they found there. The secrets uttered softly into troubled ears. These men were known as the Whisperers.

“I guess that’s all forever is…Just one long trail of nows. And I guess all you can do is try and live one now at a time without getting too worked up about the last now or the next now.”

SCORE SUNDAY! I had missed this so much! I’m glad I finally overcame my Tumblr inertia.

Anyway… SCORE SUNDAY!

Thomas Newman - Montana

Have you ever heard anything so beautiful? This song alone makes me want to go to Montana. That and John Steinbeck’s description in Travels With Charley.

Annie: Why did this happen? Tom: I don’t ask those questions, Annie. And I didn’t ask to love you, but I do.

A horse is the projection of peoples’ dreams about themselves - strong, powerful, beautiful - and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence.
