Perfect Storm
Listening to the rain on the roof, made me think of this moment 11 years ago. Below is the journal story.

Perfect Storm
The storm had grown and expanded, it's blackness and menacing edge was near overhead, but I was drawn deeper and deeper into it following this black stallion straight out of my kid dreams. The rest of the party with me returned to the rigs about a half mile back. The winds began to pick up, but so did the exhilaration felt in my core.

The very small though discernible 'sensible' part of me knew for safety in this growing storm, that I should turn back. And the semi socially-conscious part of me also was aware that two groups of people were also waiting patiently for me back at the trucks.
But the wilder side of me saw this black stallion before me, and the approaching storm with it's growing wild winds, which continued to beckon me in.

He runs with a small band of bachelor stallions. They watched me with curiosity for a little while, but decided to run out not from fear but from calculated caution, and the way they moved they also seemed to feel playful in the October winds as they headed into the storm. A few times the band of stallions double-backed for another curious and playful run-by. When they seemed to settle down and playfully interact with one another, this blacker than night stallion broke away from the rest and headed toward me, keenly curious, as he got closer. He watched me, and every so oftenlooked off at the distant commotion of two-leggeds scrambling out of the storm. But then he turned his head fully in my direction…. and watched intently.

A moment where time and space are less relative to the clarity of a moment of an existence fully alive.

The young stallions of Steens watered, headed up the hill and had to stop and spar. What fun they had. The dark one is Stryker, strikingly similar to his sire, Juniper.

Young bachelor stallions played so much, I was able to toggle between vids and stills.
Like adolescent boys, they sharpen their skills through much fun!
