I felt very connected to the conversations in this book. The horse and the mole seem so wise. They are like someone you want with you and by your side to help with little reminders. Then, I realize. I am the horse, the mole, the fox and the boy…

It stirs so much. I remember when Annika was recording his voice. I believe his name is something like Goos de Asahh… I was standing right there. She was trying to motivate him to “belt it out” and she wanted to record the feeling.

The feeling.

The feeling was a fast vibration that pierced my ear and buzzed through my head and down my body and out my toes. Some days I acknowledged the obnoxious awakening with – “Yes, I am Thank you!” Other days I countered with – “Abso – fucking- lutely! but are YOU ready?!” And there were a couple days when I just said “Thank you” and maybe it was because I was not sure.

Now I see that each call was a gift.

Hearing Annika’s recording of “Are You Ready?” took me back to me standing there smiling and giggling as I watched her coax his voice into the microphone. I remember feeling grateful for being right there in that beautiful Bali and looking around and loving all my new brothers and sisters. I felt safe and free to be open. I thought – Wow, look at me. I get to be right here; right now!

The memory is only a couple minutes long but is a reminder that time really has no meaning when we compare it to the volcanic and monumental feeling (good or bad) that is actually in it.
