The Delight of Riding a Horse: A Lesson from My Past
Good day, dear reader. Today, I’d like to share a story from my past, a tale that taught me the true meaning of delight. It’s a story about a horse, a young boy, and a journey that changed everything.
My First Encounter
As a young lad, I was always fascinated by horses. Their majestic stature, their gentle eyes, and their powerful strides were mesmerizing. One day, my father, seeing my interest, decided to introduce me to the world of horse riding.
The First Ride
My first ride was on a horse named Thunder. He was a magnificent creature, strong and spirited. As I climbed onto his back, I felt a rush of fear and excitement. But as Thunder started to move, I felt something else – a sense of freedom, a feeling of delight that I had never experienced before.
The Lesson
That day, I learned that delight is not just about experiencing joy or pleasure. It’s about embracing the unknown, overcoming your fears, and discovering new aspects of yourself. It’s about feeling alive, feeling free, and feeling connected to the world around you.
Delight in Everyday Life
Now, you might be thinking, “Kev, I don’t have a horse. How can I experience this delight?” Well, dear reader, delight is not just found in grand adventures or extraordinary experiences. It’s found in the everyday moments, in the simple pleasures of life. It’s found in a warm cup of tea on a cold day, in the laughter of a loved one, in the beauty of a sunset.
So, I encourage you to seek out these moments of delight. Embrace the unknown, overcome your fears, and discover the joy that life has to offer.
Remember, life is not just about surviving, it’s about thriving. It’s about finding delight in the journey, not just the destination.
Until next time, dear reader.
Yours truly,
Kev
