Supposedly from the perspective of a horse ...other characters are also viewed through the eyes of the horse.

Yes, there are other characters.

The eagles give a sense of believing ...that we can perhaps one day come close to soaring.

And there are militaristic type beings; others of the self-indulging type.

It may be easy to resist these types, and strive for my own unique independent spirit.

Yet, there are those who seem to threaten my inner being more. They appear to have a sort of kindred spirit ...but different.

How different??  I don't quite know ...just different somehow.

I sort of fear that if a time came that I realized that in certain circumstances that we need one another ...that I would be giving too much of myself.

I guess, I have not yet come to grips with the concept of compromise ...when it should be; when it should not; and the difference between when it adds strength to my own independence, opposed to when it does not.

I've been told that sometimes dependence gives us more freedom.

One time I may resent that I'm being ridden, yet there are times it almost feels good to carry another.
