I recently began reading Linda Kohanov’s work and, only a few pages in, encountered two concepts that immediately made me think about the fight to protect the Salt River horses: cathedral thinking and equanimity. Someday, perhaps, the cathedral we are building will be a permanent system of protection for the Salt River horses that no longer depends upon who happens to occupy the Governor’s Office, who runs a particular agency or what agreement happens to be in effect. And perhaps equanimity is what gives us the strength to keep laying the stones, even when we cannot yet see the cathedral they will become.
