Cattle Grids And Green Grass

I was walking across a cattle grid yesterday. It was a doddle and the cattle (i.e. Bulls!) didn’t follow me.

Which is amazing! I mean, how come that one member of the bovine race hasn’t sussed them out since they were invented ? I’m sure even with hooves some smart beast out there could have found a way.

Fill the gaps with munched up grass or something.

Come on guys…I believe in you! You can do it!

Or maybe they’re just happy where they are.

We’d have found a way of course. We are The Humans! We evolve and learn. The grass is never green enough in our field. No sir!

And that discontent is the curse which has probably led to the vast majority of the pain and suffering and wars and depression that we have experienced. But it has also been the source of all our positive creativity, bringing such joy and pleasure.

I’m not sure where I’m going with this story.

Which I suppose is also like life as a human being.

But the bottom line is… we’re not stuck in a field. We’re blessed with choices to make about the direction we take….once we’ve crossed over that tricky cattle grid.

I live in hope that my little brain, and the rest of the damn world, with all it’s huge potential, can learn to make better choices, a bit more often.

Soon please.
