Milagro

I don't know if its extra sensory perception or an active imagination, but plants and animals sometimes talk to me. It is always a spiritual experience when it happens, and one that will live with me forever.    
One fine day I had to hitchhike into town for supplies. Returning with a box of groceries I was left standing on the roadside waiting for a ride up the mountain when I heard a voice coming from the pasture. A horse was talking directly into my brain.    
Got anything good to eat, he said.
I dug around in my box of groceries for something to share and found a nice carrot.    
How about we share this,   I said.    
He took a bite and I took a bite, pretty soon it was all gone.    
That was really tasty, he said. Is there anything I can do for you?    
Well, I said, as a matter of fact I could use a ride up the mountain    
He snickered and laughed, then threw his head back.    
Just at that moment a white Ford Mustang skidded to a halt, the passenger door flew open and a voice from inside said, Get in.    
Gee, you're amazing I said to the horse before turning to get in.    
Thanks for the ride.
