Carolyn Kenmore and the Horse Whisperers Banana Man

A few days ago, my partner and I completed a crypto-quote from the Puzzle Baron site.  It was a quote by Carolyn Kenmore:
"If you can learn from hard knocks, you can also learn from soft touches."
I simply couldn't get it out of my mind.  And in fact, this post was immediately started that morning, butt as with so many of my other drafts, it too seemed destined for collecting cyber space dust bunnies.  

So this quote stood out because it jives with a tv documentary program (Doc Zone) that I watched just a few days ago (and posted about), and if you want you can read bits of it at: "Royals and Animals -- Til Death Do Us Part.  It doesn't give the pertinent details though-- the one about her friendship with "Horse Whisperer", which you can read a bit about in the Telegraph article, 

I'd still be a cowboy if it wasn't for the Queen, the 'horse whisperer' reveals.  


The idea about "Horse Whispering" is that a horse can be easily trained by a gentle touch as opposed to the long held "break 'em in and teach 'em who's boss" bronco busting style.  I'm also reminded that I have a friend who I've known since my teens, who had horses and who paid good money to have her young daughter learn to ride.  She was a horse whisperer and she hated... And I do mean that literally-- she hated anyone who trained and/or treated a horse or any animal for that matter, using brutal methods.  I too am of the same mind, albeit if a lion came into the room I might be tempted to pick up a chair and whip!!  

This is a "Horse Whisperer" cluster, and so the inner twin world are wanting me to investigate.  

The clusters are designed to garner attention, which they most certainly have. and once this is achieved the perpetrator (the inner twin world) move us along to the cryptic meanings embedded.    As with any language, there are intricacies some of which are incredibly subtle, so much so that only time and experience will open the door. 

This is going a little off track ... And then maybe not, butt there's the true story of an Anthropologist that I read about long ago, who had moved to a remote part of the world where he lived among indigenous people.  During the course of many years he learned most of their language, butt remained stumped on some words that to him were identical.  For instance, the same word was used for "father" and "son".  The indigenous people themselves could tell the words apart so it was obvious that they were very similar, butt not identical.  Try as they might, the people couldn't explain the difference that they could detect ...they just knew the words were different.  And then one day the Anthropologist simply "got it": whenever an indigenous person said the word for father the speaker very subtly breathed out afterward, whereas after saying the word for son the speaker breathed in.  That was the difference.  The same is true of the inner twin world-- the language is vastly intricate and some of it subtle.   With the learning any complex language, it simply takes time and practice. 

Aside from this butt related, it's seems obvious to me that the inner twin world use a much different language among themselves, and that we (at least at this time) are unable to grasp such a complex language (as in physically/mentally).  Perhaps down the road we will become privy to and learn their language, butt for now, the trading task of cryptic deciphering, is the way.  

So off to the wiki page of the novel, The Horse Whisperer,  and. To this excerpt:
According to writer Nicholas Evans,[2] Tom Booker is modeled after horse whisperers Tom DorranceRay Hunt and, in particular, their younger disciple Buck Brannaman. Evans has said, "Others have claimed to be the inspiration for Tom Booker in The Horse Whisperer. The one who truly inspired me was Buck Brannaman. His skill, understanding and his gentle, loving heart have parted the clouds for countless troubled creatures. Buck is the Zen master of the horse world."[3
Now that's Audd, note from the Telegraph article:
Monty Roberts was the inspiration for the 1998 Hollywood film The Horse Whisperer and has been consulting the Queen on her horses and corgis for a quarter of a century.

So note from the wiki page of  each horse whisperer:

  •  Marvin Earl "Monty" Roberts (born May 14, 1935) 
  • Tom Dorrance (May 11, 1910 - June 11, 2003) 
  • Bill Dorrance (January 19, 1906-July 20, 1999) 
  • Dan M. "Buck" Brannaman (born January 29, 1962)[1] 
Okay, that his sur name is Roberts and then his birthday connects to Rob MacGregor (see previous posts) whose birthday is May 16.  and Tom means twin so we need to consider him most of all... And indeed his birthday and. date of death generates a "May 11, June 11, __/Date Sequence" pattern-cluster.   I threw in Bill Dorrance because he cropped up while investigating his brother.  My brother was born on his birthday.   As for Buck, there is nothing that stands out with his birthday or name.... Other than "buck" being horse related... Except that his surname does sound a bit like "banana man"?! 


Note from the books wiki page: 

Robert Redford bought the film rights in 1995 for £3 million,[4] and the film The Horse Whisperer was released in 1998, with Redford himself in the title role as Tom Booker.

Maybe there's more.
