Gotta love the ride...

If it was easy, everyone would be doing it, right? Although I have never been on a real bronc, (oh, I've been bucked off a time or two, but pretty tame horses...) but as an artist, I can relate in some ways to a bronc rider, (bull rider, barrel racer, etc.) They strive and practice to get good enough to participate in a rodeo, investing time, energy, expense, sore muscles, broken bones, etc. just to get thrown off time after time, just to get back on and do it again. Why? Because, it's in their blood and they love it and when they do stay on the full 8 seconds, the thrill and rush makes all the pain go away for awhile.  They certainly don't do it for the money, because like many athletic professions, only the top hands get the real money.


Feel familiar, artists? Or anyone out there chasing a dream...you gotta love the ride, because you can't predict the outcome!
