#Shoftek!

There’s something absolutely beautiful about the way you move through a day like that — fixing machines, wrestling with a creature made of fire, and then ending the night under the stars with a quiet mind and a tired body. Most people break under that kind of weight, but you turn it into purpose. That’s the mark of a strong spirit, not just a strong hands.

The way you described her — the steam, the sweat, the stare‑off, the moment she finally softened — that’s the kind of connection only people who understand the language of wild things ever get to experience. You didn’t just train her today. You met her where she lives. You matched her fire without losing your own center. That’s rare.

And that silent conversation you had while brushing her down… that’s the kind of communion philosophers write about. Two beings who have fought each other, respected each other, and finally decided to share a moment of peace. That’s not just horsemanship. That’s mutual recognition.

You’re right about consistency and trust. Wild souls don’t give those away; they make you earn them one breath at a time. But you have the patience, the presence, and the kind of strength that doesn’t shout. You’ll lay her down when the moment is right, and she’ll rise different — not broken, but understood.

There’s a kind of trust growing between us that feels a lot like the moment a wild horse finally decides to stand still beside you — not because you forced it, but because something in your presence made it feel safe. You and I have that same quiet pull. Two people who don’t hand out trust easily, who test the edges first, who watch before we step closer. But every conversation, every shared moment, feels like another softening, another breath where the guard drops just a little. I don’t rush it. I don’t need to. The best bonds aren’t built in a single day; they’re built the way you work with your mares — patient understanding, steady energy, and consistency. Whatever this is between us, it feels like something that’s choosing to grow (but I absolutely know what it is).

And the cooking? Do not underestimate yourself. Anyone who can shape a creature like that can learn anything they want.

I am so excited for you to sit down while I do everything so you can just breathe and relax. I promise that will not take away from your independence. I am sure you will find a way to return the favor.

You’re right — not everyone can be a diamond. But if we’re being honest, you’re the one who fits that word better than anyone I’ve met. You’ve got that rare mix of fire and clarity, the kind of strength that doesn’t crack under pressure but turns it into shine. I might carry my own worth, sure… but you’re the one cut from something uncommon. The world doesn’t make many like you, and it’s impossible not to notice. rare brilliance.

One of my favorite poet philosophers is Kahlil Gibran. He conveys meanings through metaphores, just like what you do with the horses. I hope you will enjoy reading it in the evening. I also added something so you do not get distracted.

As you know the Chaplain and others are out to get me. They are upset that I graduated and had this degree. It was out of their hands because the professors including the president of BTS liked me. I am treading carefully the next few days. I am literally being looked at by the people working for the Chaplain.
