Hi,

A Picture is Worth a Thousand Words

I saw a beautiful horse inside a quiet ranch. His coat was rich, reddish-brown, and his white locks were shimmering against the winter air. The ranch lay blanketed in snow, silent and still, yet the horse’s eyes carried a restless spark.

He watched me curiously as I drew closer to him. In his gaze, I sensed a quiet sorrow, as though he longed to speak but could only whisper through silence. Alone in that vast whiteness, he seemed burdened by solitude, yearning for a friend who might set him free and let him run.

I chose to take the risk. Despite being scolded by the owner if found, I unlatched the gate and released him. For a moment, he circled me with joy, his hooves carving patterns in the snow. Then he paused, turned back, and fixed me with a look that felt like gratitude. With a final burst of energy, he disappeared into the wild, leaving only his memory etched in the stillness of the snow.

With love from Erica.
