"Bovine Serenity"
// BLURB //
He wasn’t like the rest. Each day he’d wander out, far from the others. Far, far away from the grass in the fields. Away from the obsessions of his kin he did roam. If they had the notion, they likely would’ve thought him strange. Alas, no such thoughts crept into their limited minds. But his was different. Yet the judgement of strange was no where to be found bitterly swirling through his thoughts. Curiosity perhaps? Only from time to time. Simply content. Like a gently flowing creek, his thoughts gently caressed and were plainly projected into his essence. It is likely his last thoughts were unchanged. The other cows would never experience such tranquility. Only the dull meandering of something that sees no other options. With quiet intent and acceptance he smiled out into the horizon each and every day.
