When magic happens from the other side.....

Sage/Debs · When magic happens from the other side.....

I belong to another board...I recently shared the link with you all, Northern Lights. We kind of touched around about animal communication there, and a new mini forum about the subject was made....I had the strangest experience last nite. I shared it there and would like to share here as well. Many of you went thru my time with Treasure and remember the absolute agony I felt...well last nite was pure magic, I swear....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Earlier on I mentioned "Treasure". Treasure was a lovely golden palomino miniature horse I loved more than I knew until I lost her. She was so tiny when I first saw her...all legs and big brown eyes and I knew she was meant for me. I finnagled her dam and her at 2 wks old to get to my house and she was mine, my own wee spirit. I loved her and raised her. She was always such a good girl, she knew me so well and felt my heart each day. She grew...those legs just kept going...taller and taller up to 38". Oh now you'll laugh and say "only 38" but in minis that is the limit but in her heart she was a unicorn...large, luminous, and serene. I named her Diminutives Treasures Secret Gold. She was a treasure. She was only 3 when come fall she began to founder.....long story but her bones in her leg to foot rotated and came thru her sole. I made the decision after sitting with her long and sadly to let her go.

I sat that day in her stall, crying, praying, sending everything I was and am to her to heal her..I wanted a miracle. She came up to me and hung her head over my shoulder and we wept...for the times we wouldn't share until we saw each other again. I asked if she hurt...she did but oh so brave had no complaint as I was trying to keep the pain a bay with meds and Reiki but she asked to go....said her time was done...she'd see me again.

Treasure could barely walk the day before she died. I had her stall so soft and comfie and spent all the time with her I could. The day dawned bright and beautiful...a perfect fall day.....they came with the backhoe to dig her grave out front. The vet was coming in an hour, I said they could leave and I would bury her...they said nope, they'd stay and stay they did.

We petted her, brushed her in her stall then left her to say her horse goodbyes to her friends. The vet arrived and asked if we should put her down in her stall. I said no. I looked into those huge liquid brown eyes and asked her if she could walk and she did....she walked....a few steps at a time...cropping the grass so long denied and untasted....that short walk took us 15 minutes and all 5 humans were reduced to tears (as I am as I write this). I ran to get her brush..she so loved to be brushed...I held her close, we loved each other so much but she wanted to go....in a blink she was gone....oh my heart just broke....we did what we had to and put her to bed covered in a lovely quilt and marked her grave forever.

Now why do I bring this up now...more than a year later? I have a friend...she wants to give me a gift of gorgeous pottery that has the hairs of your horse burned into it. They are so lovely and what a wonderful memorial.

Last nite I got out the big piece of Treasure's mane to send off and I was brought to my knees. I brought it out and held it and she was there! I felt her, I heard her, I cannot tell you how that felt.....I was stunned. I closed my eyes and saw her lovely face, could feel the warmth of her coat in my fingers and the breath of her new life in my hair.

I don't think I can send the hair for the pottery. I would love it but I don't think I can unwrap the hair...I might lose her....I can't risk that...silly? Probably could send a piece of it and keep the rest? No, I'll lose the magic and magic it is....Treasure was my heart. You encounter very few souls in your life that have true impact and oh how impacted I was by those eyes, that mind, and that huge heart.

I just thought I would share this with those of like minds. I hope my "friend" doesn't mind my sharing her generousity either, maybe in time I can share a bit of the mane for the bowl, but for now each time I hold the lock, I feel her....I think she is here to help me with some big decisions I need to make this winter and it helps to know she doesn't blame me and that she is happy.

Oh Debs, Your story brought me to tears as well...........Not just the burning behind the eyes, but stuff rolling down my cheeks. You should do whatever your heart tells you to do with Treasure's hair, you know that. Treasure doesn't care.......you know that too. She obviously feels the heart-pull when you take out her hair and comes to visit you. What a perfect example of the saying...."Love Never Dies".
