Mongolia

I’ve arrived!

Horses are in every inch of Mongolia. The air smells of animals, the grass perfectly mowed by goats, sheep, horses, cattle and yaks, and the overall respect for these beings is remarkable and consistent. There is so much to take in and be in awe with.

I went for a hike yesterday with two friends on a hill south of the City. We came upon this little band of horses. Unknown if they were owned by anyone or not, it seems like the horses really own themselves for the better part of their lives here. They weren’t too bothered by our presence but it was clear this stallion out himself between us and his mares just to be sure.

Made me think about how removed the west has become from nature and our fellow beings. We have the opportunity to integrate and work together like the Mongolians have and are so beautifully modeling. So much to take in.
