“We
can’t change other people. Certainly we have made others feel guilty
enough so that they have given in and done things our way. And we have
won many power struggles. But ultimately we can’t claim ownership of
anyone else’s mind, and we aren’t the stewards of anyone else’s life. We
may feel diminished by our lack of control initially, but in time we
will love the freedom of living only our own lives. The extra time we’ll
have and the peace we’ll know will comfort us.”

Remember the horse rolling around on his back? You can see it here. I started something really different with this horse. It may take me a long time to finish it. Oh… the pencil lines? I forgot to take a progress picture of this after I erased those.
The plain brown horse is from a photo reference by SkattyKat at WetCanvas.
