Electronic Artist, Brian Transeau is and will be my favorite artist of all time. His music is artwork for the mind and soul and his spirit is poured into every piece. The music that is sculpted on his Macintosh has evolved over the years from hard hitting trance music to masterpieces produced in 5.1 surround sound with 110 piece orchestras. His blog posts are always placed on his Myspace Page<\/a> and are usually never less than 3-5 pages but what he says is poetic, masterful and wonderful and that’s why I go back to Myspace as often as I can stand it just to read his posts. <\/p>\n

He posted something today about his sister’s farm and she’s had the #2 spot on his Myspace Top 8 for as long as I can remember. Her name is Sarah and she operates Tranquility Farm Equestrian<\/a>. His post explains things a lot better than I can so please read on.<\/p>\n

Dear All, <\/p>\n

Today
\nwe are faced with the conundrum of if we want to help, how do we do
\nthis meaningfully. In these times and our economy there are multitudes
\nof people that truly need help while we ourselves are often stretched
\nso thin that if we do have an extra money or time to donate, it’s next
\nto impossible to give where you know your actually making an impact. I
\nfor one want to know I am making some meaningful impact on the human
\nnarrative (in everything I do not just in conscious giving but if your
\ngetting this email you know me well enough to know that :)<\/p>\n

My
\nsister, Sarah Transeau founded an equine non-profit in 2002. That’s a
\nfancy way of saying she rescues horses in abuse or distress
\nsituations, rehabilitates them and pairs them up with kids, adults,
\nveterans and people from all walks of life, that suffer from physical,
\nmental or emotional illness or trauma. Research and practical
\nexperience shows that horses have an amazing ability to help people
\nacknowledge their feelings, feel validated with new self worth and
\nconfidence, experience renewed desire to face life, risk trusting
\nthemselves and others and communicate authentically. Many, if not all
\nof us experience trauma, but the trauma someone experiences daily that
\nlives with depression, or cancer or that has risked their own life to
\nprotect the sanctity of our country and its people, makes me for one,
\nfeel lucky for my trials. What my sister does is noble and beautiful
\nand she directly impacts people in a transformative way, that has a
\ndeep, meaningful and lasting result. I am awed by her work, and aspire
\nto do some modicum of the same good in my own. You may know someone
\nwell in the MD, Virgina area who could DEEPLY benifit from this kind of
\nwork. Please contact us if you do.<\/p>\n

There
\nare autistic kids that speak their first words from the back of
\na patient rescued horse, depression or bipolar sufferers who decide
\nthey want to live productively again, soldiers and veterans with PTSD
\nwho thought themselves forever broken, who learn to trust and open
\ntheir hearts again. In a world where children are starving and people
\nare loosing their homes or don’t have one to being with, it’s hard to
\nask people to give anything for any reason. What Tranquility Farms does
\nwith rescued horses changes people, for the good, and forever. If you
\nor someone you love could benefit from ..therapeutic riding, contact
\nus. If you can contribute time, council, money, food, goods,
\nservices…..anything, it will directly impact the lives of people and
\nanimals in need in a meaningful and lasting way. Please forward this
\nletter to anyone you know who could benefit or help.<\/p>\n

Thank you for reading this :)
\nSarah\u2019s proud brother,<\/p>\n
