He felt a peace come over him at the sight, breathed deep, his body relzxing.

Gideon relaxed, too, all the feistiness draining slowly out of him like water from a leaky bucket. Slowly, Jamie let his hands drop lightly on the horse's neck, and the horse stayed still, ears forward. Ah, he thought, and the realization stole over him that this was a Place.

He thought of such places in a way that had no words, only recognizing one when he came to it. He might have called it holy, save that the feel of such a place had nothing to do with church or saint. It was simply a place he belonged to be, and that was sufficient, though he preferred to be alone when he found one. He let the reins go slack across the horse's neck. Not even a thrawn minded creature like Gideon would give trouble here, he thought.

[> I love your picks! I never really put a name to this feeling, but Diana did. Now when they happen I recognize and savor them so much more because of this quote. It’s very true that animals pick up on your feelings. My daughter has a pit bull that loves to walk and so do I but early on we were walking and someone was coming the other way and I got nervous we’d meet at a tight spot and she felt it. That was the only time Sadie ever even looked at a person or dog that walks by. She gives me great confidence to walk in the evening and it seems I give it back. Now we never walk that at least 3 people say she’s a happy, gorgeous dog! -- Kathy in PA, Tue, August 02 2022, 6:17:29
