Four Horses

As a child in Sunday school I was introduced to the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. These Four appear as harbingers of our doom in that final book of the Christian Bible. This was a frightening teaching for a small child, perhaps a person of any age. I continued to be haunted by these ominous characters, even into adulthood. Now I see them differently. These Horsemen (or Horses as they are portrayed in my work) are not signs of a dreadful end, but representative of what we must contend with to endure individually and collectively.
