hi libby! thank you. this actually happened - the horses part. it was surreal. my older brother was an addict who died too young. we were close even though we had a nine year age difference. he used to take me horseback riding and in that first week of him being gone, i was driving and thinking about horses and my brother and then suddenly, 5 horses, no riders, started galloping down the street in the valley! i couldn't understand it. i thought maybe i was hallucinating but i don't think i was. not far from where it happened there was one of those places where kids can ride horses in a loop, maybe these 5 escaped somehow. i never got to the bottom of it. i just know what i saw and felt strongly that my brother sent them.
This is really gorgeous Annie, I am so moved by this. I would love to hear more about this piece.. x
