Lost Somewhere

The riders and horses moved out at a walking pace. No need to tire the horses now. There could be harder riding later keeping the herd together and moving them into the corral. Terry felt a thrill he had never known before. This was real work with a real purpose. Nothing he had done before seemed anywhere near the satisfaction he was feeling right then. He had ridden Buck many times since the day they did the count and felt more comfortable in the saddle. He began to wonder if this was his purpose in life. How had this happened? He had tried to escape all he had known from his past, but he never expected to end up on a cattle ranch. What he thought he knew before didn’t fit with today. He just didn’t know what it was. He thought of the things he had heard about a plan for our lives, but it hadn’t made sense. Was it here in the simple life on a ranch in Somewhere, Wyoming? Terry wanted to find out.
