A testimony of thriving: "Spirit of your Horse" - Art by Beverli Rhodes

As we approach the 5th anniversary of the 7/7 London Bombings, the horrors of such an event might go unnoticed by countless people around the world. The same is true of other global events that are catastrophic, ugly, and devastating, whether it's a natural disaster like a tsunami that wrecks lives, or disasters that could have been prevented, perhaps, like the oil spill in the Gulf, or our propensity to be at war with others and promote the taking of life in order to preserve our own way of life and our commercial interests.

A global event, however devastating, might not touch us directly but when it does, it inevitably changes our lives. Some lives are broken beyond repair; others are shattered but are being glued back together one piece at a time. Either way, something changes and out of devastation and pain we can also see the resilience of our spirit, and our love of life regardless of what has been taken from us.

I've just stumbled upon another inspiring newsworthy event about one of the survivors of the 7/7 Bombings, Beverli Rhodes. Her life was one of the ones that was badly affected by the violent actions of others nearly 5 years ago. A person like this could have rolled over and gone into a deep sleep, depriving herself and those around her of a vital energy. She could have become a vindictive bitter survivor, and who would blame her or any of the other victims of this particular global event.

But she didn't. She became involved in advocacy for other survivors of events like this, not only the 7/7 survivors. She took on the might of the authorities to get compensation. She travelled out of her country several times for much-needed medical treatment. She had to process the opinions of so-called experts who said she would never again be able to do what she loved most - ride a horse. She and others like her live with the mental, emotional and physical pain caused by others, but she has managed to rise above it, to go back to what she knows and loves best - her horses, her talents, her special gifts and her creativity.

I would love to be able to ride a horse so I could avail myself of the opportunity of having unique artwork in my home, capturing the spirit not only of the horse but of the artist who has known hell and has responded by giving us a shot at a piece of heaven - "Spirit of your Horse" Art
