Today, I enjoyed a FaceBook post by Robert Moss in which he discusses how the hero Bellerophon dreamed that the goddess Athena gave him the bridle he could use to capture Pegasus, the winged horse – and woke to find the bridle beside him.

“And so mighty Bellerophon eagerly stretched the gentle charmed bridle around its jaws and caught the winged horse.” – Pindar

Robert was suggesting that gifts from the Otherworld can be brought through to this world. I don’t disagree.

The point of Robert’s musings aside, I was impacted by the fact that dreaming a bridle (albeit as a gift from the wise Athena) and then capturing the horse with this goddess-sent charm was the solution to the dilemma of how to ride Pegasus.

It’s finally here! The Deirdre & Lily coloring book is available for download!

This coloring book tells the story of Deirdre & Lily, two orphaned white-tail does that wildlife rehabilitator Cindy L. McGinley rescued as fawns and raised on her horse farm. It tells the story of how Deirdre cared for the younger Lily and became her “seeing-eye deer.” You can download this small half-size coloring book (unlimited quantities) to print out on your computer for just $1, and so help offset the legal costs Cindy has incurred while trying to save Deirdre & Lily’s lives against an order to euthanize from the NY State Department of Environmental Conservation. Children will enjoy reading and coloring the story, and can learn a great deal about the rehabilitation of baby deer in the process. A membership card for the “Big Ear Club” is included.
