thoughtful thursday

across the road resides a herd of cattle.  lovely white ones.  during the growing season, the cows are kept out of part of the pasture because the farmer is growing hay for winter feed.  it's always evident when he's completed all the hay cutting he's going to do as the cows are allowed to graze in that portion of the pasture; allowing them closer proximity to me.  it's quite pleasantly calming to watch them.  they seem so accepting, so willing to just be as they go about their days being, well, cattle.  it's evident why these creatures are sacred in india.  perhaps we humans should be more like cows.....calm, accepting, willing.
