When The Spirit Dies

"Wild horses run unbridled or their spirit dies..."

How many songs have we heard about the human heart,mind, and spirit? A dime a dozen. Have you stopped to think why?

Because we are in awe of it...as much as we are proud of it. We are starry-eyed about the depths and the heights that these can achieve. And to an extent, afraid of it all.

We try to hold it all together with what we can. And sometimes what we are capable of,what we have, what we can do...it's not always enough.

The spirit needs room to run free. When we finally realize that we are not invincible, that we cannot always do everything and have everything, we put ourselves in a rut where no one can reach us...and the spirit dies. When it cannot run free because of limitations we have put on ourselves... our minds refuse to think, our hearts refuse to feel, our spirits die.

And when the spirit dies we might as well lose it all. It's what keeps us going. It's who we are,what we are, what will become of us.

So run free...run free...
