wise horse equestrian
A horse can lend its rider the speed and strength he or she lacks - but the rider who is wise remembers it is no more then a loan.
sister expression sorority
Sisters don't need words. They have perfected a language of snarls and smiles and frowns and winks - expressions of shocked surprise and incredulity and disbelief. Sniffs and snorts and gasps and sighs - that can undermine any tale you're telling.
horse wings equestrian
Horses lend us the wings we lack.
father sound
Thank you for being interested. Doesn't sound much but it meant just about everything.
cat shoes likes
A cat likes to hear you calling him. He sits in a bush a yard from your shoes - and listens.
sister smell childhood
Sisters share the scent and smells... the feel of a common childhood.
love love-is suffering
Love is to understand, at last, the suffering of another.
horse distance moving
Brooks too wide for our leaping, hedges far to high. Loads too heavy for our moving, burdens too cumbersome for us to bear. Distances far beyond our journeying. The horse gave us mastery.
horse children dad
The child who ran weeping to you with a cut finger is now brought home, smiling gamely, with a broken collarbone and incredible contusions- 'it wasn't Jezebels fault, Dad.'
clever dad father
Dads don't need to be tall and broad-shouldered and clever. Love makes them so.
christmas fun perfect
We expect too much at Christmas. It's got to be magical. It's got to go right. Feasting. Fun. The perfect present. All that anticipation. Take it easy. Love's the thing. The rest is tinsel.
sister sorrow delight
An older sister is a friend and defender - a listener, conspirator, a counsellor and a sharer of delights. And sorrows too.
mother appreciation easter
You never realize how much your mother loves you till you explore the attic - and find every letter you ever sent her, every finger painting, clay pot, bead necklace, Easter chicken, cardboard Santa Claus, paperlace Mother's Day card and school report since day one.
sister sibling thinking
A younger sister is someone to use as a guinea-pig in trying sledges and experimental go-carts. Someone to send on messages to Mum. But someone who needs you - who comes to you with bumped heads, grazed knees, tales of persecution. Someone who trusts you to defend her. Someone who thinks you know the answers to almost everything.
