After many Mallomar-filled years off horseback, it became obvious to me that living without horses is decidedly boring. I found Journey's End, and set about re-discovering the rider in myself. 

  As I have passd the age at which , upon falling, one no longer bounces, a return to riding was a decision the making of which I should have taken more than the nanosecond I spent on it. I'm glad, now, that I made such an impulsive decision.
