When The Universe Speaks. . .

No pictures today. Just a question.
Do you ever feel the universe is trying to tell you something? I’m wondering about that at the moment. . . BECAUSE every time I ride and start to make significant progress, something happens to me. Yes, I’ve looked back and it’s every time and it’s always a physical problem.
And once again, I have another problem. It’s my eye again. The left one now. It happened the other day. All of a sudden l started seeing lightening bolts and I sure knew it wasn’t raining. Oh, no. I waited a night hoping they would disappear but the next morning, there they were still there. This time, I knew exactly what to do. Trip to the opthalmolgist to confirm and yes, I have another tear and viterous fluid is leaking putting me in danger of a retinal detachment.
I know the drill, stay still for one month and with every day that passes that the retina doesn’t detach, I’m making progress.
But I’m starting to think a higher power is gently telling me something. What do you think?
I have read your blog for a while and had just never left a comment, but find myself checking it often to see how things are going at Red Pine. We all have our things that can limit us physically from time to time, I know I have had my share. But, somtimes that just gives us the inspiration we need to continue our other talents. You are a most gifted writer, and I am sure, have more followers on here than you know. You have raised some of the most beautiful animals I have seen. My family will keep you in our prayers as you recover, please keep us posted how you and the Red Pine family are doing.

I believe my friend, that the universe is telling you many things. Everyday. My take on this after being humbled earlier this year with a like injury… I am human, my body is aging and yes, my eyes are more fragile than I ever realized…Now, that is what I realized…Now what did I hear and maybe what the universe is reminding you, although I doubt any of this was every far away from you? .Cherish every moment, look at the world everyday with a fresh vision. Hold in your heart all you see, with awe.. You are an amazing person, horsewoman, pied piper of all,kinds of animals, I enjoy so much your photography, and your writing.. Slow down ..relax and enjoy all the beauty that is before you…I will keep you close to my heart in prayers and best wishes..hugs…maureen .

Sara I am so sorry to hear you’re having problems now with the other eye and more serious ones at that. Just follow your doctor’s advice, stay off of horses for a while, hopefully everything will soon be fixed and you can resume doing the things you love … but maybe not SO much of the things you love doing ALL at once.
Take care and know that you’ve a lot of friends out here praying for you and wishing you the very best.

Bummer! What do you have to do to reduce the risk of this? be more calm? sounds like a crummy plan.

Sara,
I am so sorry to hear about your eye! Will this interrupt your travel plans? Thinking of you. I don’t know anything about this issue, but I sure hope you are able to resolve it and get back to normal again very soon.

Sara, I think the universe is telling you that your retinal problems are NOT related to horses. Be well, my friend.

So sorry to hear about your ongoing eye problem. I feel so bad for you, but don’t believe the universe is trying to tell you anything. Perhaps, getting old is just tough going sometimes. How can you possibly be still on your farm when there is so much work to do? Guess all you can do is try your best. Will pray for you.

Sara, I can’t say for sure or not if it’s the universe. I know I am having similiar things happen to me. I personally feel sometimes that people like us are just the ones that everything happens to and that does make me a tad nervous sometimes.

I’m sorry about your eye as well. I hope the down time you have to take will go by quickly but lead to something productive. Maybe the message is that it’s time to work on your book.

Dearest Sara, I’ve been a bit absent from the internet, busy trying to get myself off to India….the departure date remains Oct 23rd but I will never get out of this house by the 15th….I am so behind.
I am saddened to hear that your other eye has been affected. It is so scary. My brother had a detached retina a couple of years ago but everything was resolved successfully, thank God.
Our bodies just wear out, dear friend. I am suffering so badly with arthritis. I went to see my orthopedist to get steroid injections in my left shoulder and left knee…needed them, also, on the right but Dr. Belzer said you just can’t overload on steroid. I feel some relief in the pain but the clicking, every time I move my arm, is so wierd.
Please don’t overdo, though I know you hate having to leave all the work to Mountain Man. It just has to be to make sure you can gaze, with joy, at the world around you. I will hold you in my thoughts and prayers.
