When I was studying electrical engineering in college, about halfway through my course work, I got stuck.  In his lectures and in his text book, I could not understand what my electronics professor was saying.  Since that class was pretty fundamental to earning my degree, this was near-crisis stuff.  I spent hours holed up in the library studying my notes, re-reading the text, and watching and rewatching recordings of lectures.  Slowly the subject matter began to make sense.  I had to look at things at the most basic level. I had to look at how electrons move.  How electrons move determines how circuits work and then computers and phones and other devices and then the apps that run on them.

While electrical engineering is no longer a regular part of my days, the movement of electrons is ever-present.  When an electron moves, energy moves, and when many electrons move together, energy fields are formed and transformed.  Not much surprises me anymore where energy fields are concerned. They are around me in infinite ways, including in my ponies and other living things and even in the landscape where we live.

These two were at the fence in front of my house after sensing electrons in motion.

So I wasn’t really surprised by what I found when I emerged from my house late in the day. It was, nonetheless, incredibly touching.  I’d had an emotional melt-down after receiving a few emails, and tears flowed as I contemplated them while cleaning house.  The first being I encountered when I went out the door was my dog, and it was clear she wanted to be with me. She always does when I am upset; I often call her and others like her that I have owned my emotional barometers.  Outside, two of my ponies were at the fence as close to the house as they could get, and a third called to me immediately.  Then a barn cat that has adopted me came to me from her hiding place.  How did they all know that I was upset?  Their knowing has happened enough times now that I no longer consider it a coincidence.

Emotions are energy in motion.  The amazing thing about energy in motion is that it can travel long distances and it can do so nearly instantaneously.  My animal companions had sensed a shift in my energy field.  Not only that, but they chose to respond.  It was humbling that they made that choice.  Of course I began to feel better.  And I remembered with gratitude those long hours of study about how electrons move.
