The following talk is given by Tara Brock, meditation teacher, psychologist and author.

The first time in a while, I was a little bit nervous, but I was a little nervous.

I was a little nervous, but I was a little nervous.

I was a little nervous, but I was a little nervous.

We'll begin this talk with a story from a far away time and place.

I had a son, a young prince, who was very headstrong and self-centered, impatient,

and although a bright guy, not particularly interested in caring about other people,

they were concerned because they were elderly and they wanted to make sure the kingdom would be in good hands.

So they called on a sorcerer who they trusted a lot and he asked the single question,

and what is your son most passionate about? Is there anything?

And the response was horses. He's passionate about horses.

So he said, meet me in the palace gardens tomorrow morning and we'll see what happens.

So they brought they in the prince met with the sorcerer and the palace gardens next morning

and the sorcerer had this incredibly beautiful white horse there.

And the prince immediately said, I want it, how much for it, you know, can I ride it and so on.

And so he agreed, but he said, first we have to see if you can ride it.

So the prince jumped on and he galloped off and he started galloping through different farmlands and hills

and he was really into it, going faster and faster, up some mountains over a mountain pass

into some woodlands, having a wonderful time, but then gradually he started getting tired enough so he slowed down

and he was in the middle of a deep forest at that point.

He stopped at a small cottage to find out a bit where he was and so on, turned out that in the cottage lived a woodcutter

and his beautiful daughter, as you might imagine, there's always a beautiful young woman.
