In the book of Job, God replied to Job's cries By commenting on the majesty of one of His creations The horse. "Hast thou given the horse strength? Hast thou clothed his neck with thunder? The glory of his nostrils is terrible; He paweth the valley and rejoiceth in his strength He goeth on to meet the armed men. He mocked at fear, and is not affrightened; Neither turneth he back from the sword. He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage. He cannot stand still when the trumpets sound."
And oh, what a sound it is! Riding on so fearlessly It is like heaven's holy arena. Fearing no one and nothing The wars and battles won The horse and man became friends Always in the shadow of the one. A lifelong friendship had been forged And is to this very day.

The raw power of the musculature surging beneath you is like being a god! They are used in the treatment of autism to teach the body to feel this. Great write!
