TO KNOW THE WHYS OF A COW IS TO KNOW WHY GOD CREATED MAN

TO KNOW THE WHYS OF A COW IS TO KNOW WHY GOD CREATED MAN A cow looks at the full moon standing on a sloping hillside it looks straight at the moon as if it were waiting for an answer the beast does not move but keeps staring looking for answers that are not forthcoming The moon offers no response the cow bored ambles down the hill, bell around its neck clanging nobody will ever know why the cow stared at the moon waiting for wisdom that would not come Rosebuds turn rusty brown and yellow before dropping groundward the difference between the cow staring at the moon and the rosebuds falling simultaneously is slight and incongruous certain occurrences in life will remain a mystery The quiet of the Thames estuary is still today save for the ganders fretting about in the mud the world appears calm on this day of our Lord unfortunately humans abound so calm is suspect Half way around the world evil forces stir the Bear (Russia) restless gets up from his slumber ready to do combat on the small of its kingdom ready to shake the world with pretense Somewhere else maybe towards the west an Eagle makes ready for war, it always stays ready inevitably, chances are they will meet in battle with dire consequences for all living things The Eagle readies for the fray always preparing to be up for the task there’s one thing the Eagle always has on his side the willingness to hang himself with the rope he bought As eagles will do when catching prey in flight they’ll cling to their quarry even if it means falling and killing themselves on the rocks below they will never let go This is one mystery of nature’s dichotomy that forever befuddles cows.
