the horse

i was in switzerland for a month...living on top of this hill...a horse was not far away...and every day i attempted to get just a little bit closer to him...(he was shy)...it took three weeks or so but finally he let me pet him...unfortunately...as my hand touched his beautiful and soft brown nose...my elbow touched what turned out to be an electric fence...he ran one direction...i ran another...my friends...it may take you years to develop trust...yet...that same trust can be ruined in a second...think about it.
