Aletheia

Aletheia: (al-AY'-thi-a) is Greek for “Truth”, but not merely truth as spoken; truth of idea, reality, sincerity, truth in the moral sphere, divine truth revealed to man, and straightforwardness. In ancient Greek culture, (alḗtheia) was synonymous for "reality" as the opposite of illusion, i.e. fact.

I wholly pursue finding “aletheia” in all areas of my life, whether that be spiritually, morally, in relationships, regarding health or the care of my family and most certainly, in riding. Seeking Truth is so relevant in training horses because we must know the true cause of an issue in order to effectively change the outcome. I want to look for deepest, most elemental reason that something is happening, so that I understand the physics behind the exterior, and change the paradigm towards improvement. Finding that basal "cause" and being able to articulate to my students why something is happening and how to progress, is the real existence of my passion. It is part of my deepest self to seek truth and then be able to communicate it thoughtfully so that it can be meaningful to others.
