Cowboy Spirituality
(Part 1 of 4)
By Phyllis Coletta
It’s said that religion is for those afraid of hell but spirituality is for those who have been there. My friend Johnny Ray is a rodeo cowboy from Texas, not someone you might equate with spirituality, but having literally been through the fires of hell, he is closer to God than anyone I know. He wears dirty old cowboy boots - no preacher’s clean vestments or collars - but I have never met a man more deeply devoted to the service and the glory of God. His life is a tribute to these immutable spiritual laws that have sustained him: there is nothing we can do that is “unforgivable,” and there is no place, time, or state where God is absent.
Johnny Ray’s long-suffering momma says he has more lives than a cat. At five years old he suffered third degree burns over most of his body when he and his brother decided to make a gasoline fire under the house. The medical guys declared him dead four times but you just can’t kill Johnny Ray. Not only did he survive, but he spent a year in the hospital, raising hell.
A rodeo cowboy and wanderer, Johnny’s way of life is an accident waiting to happen. A few years ago he was kicked in the chest so hard by a bull that a hematoma the size of a honeydew melon mushroomed over his heart. Once again the doctors panicked but they just don’t understand. When your heart’s as big and strong as Johnny’s, a measly bull kick won’t make a dent.
A cowboy’s heart is different that way. It sees and senses things from below the earth, and then it gets stronger, peaceful, giving. Maybe it’s from long days in the sun, shoeing horses or rustling cattle. Somehow, these men are deeply connected to truth and their wisdom is simple and more powerful than any college philosophy tome:
“Make yourself happy in your heart,” Johnny says smiling.
Because of the burn, Johnny’s face is a weathered patchwork of different shades of tight and wrinkled white skin, like a beautiful mountain flower. His one remaining eyebrow is always raised up, like he’s in a constant state of surprise. The other eyebrow he lost, not in the childhood fire, but in a construction accident, when welding a propane line that he was told was shut off.
