(8,333 posts)6. walking on a deserted beach
at Assateague Island, close to dusk, clear skies, cool crisp April evening ... I heard a thundering sound. Looked up. No clouds, no lightning. Then I turned around. Running towards me was a herd of about 30 wild ponies. Instead of getting out of their way, I stood still and watched them run directly towards me. I knew they would not hurt me. About 20-30 feet away (don't remember exactly, i was stunned by what was happening), the herd neatly broke into two separate groups and ran around me. For a while, i was inside a running herd of wild horses. It was utterly exhilarating.

I have a dear memory to share. I was 12 and one of the most beautiful things I have ever seen.
