It was such a pleasure to see my good friend and dressage coach Sabine Schut Kery and the Friesian stallion Illiad at the National Finals Rodeo in Las Vegas, December 2007.

Poem Artwork

The music stops, the lights go dark
the audience falls still
a bright spot light reflects the spark
and illuminates a thrill.

Excitement’s vibrating the air
we sing the ‘Stars Bangle Banner’
Ol’ Glory’s presented with such a flair
in a beautiful way and manner.

A magnificent stallion, shiny and black
he marches along tall and proud
an enchanting lady sits on his back
she smiles and the crowd’s cheering loud.

Beauty combined with our flag’s presentation
to recognize the land of the free,
With pride and honor I live in this nation
there is no place where I’d rather be.

Our culture has taught us to believe in many ideas which aren't actually real. Exposing these illusions allows us to recover the power to live our lives according to our deepest desires.
