How Long Can Cows Go?
Dec 15, 2017
In this land of mystery and magic, cows are sacred.
I asked many people. I followed vaporous rumors. One spoke of a holy woman who spent her life living with a herd of cows.
The journey was difficult. I followed treacherous mountain roads. I chased dubious contacts.
Then one day, with the sun on high, I came upon that open meadow. There she was. The cow mother. Mata Kamadhenu.
Her skin was warm and furry. Her eyes were wide and gentle.
"Your bovine holiness," I asked. "I've been searching long and far for the answer to my question."
"Yes," she said, although I wasn't sure if she even used words.
She blinked a few times. She moved her head slowly. Then she lowered my face to a swath of grass, wrapped my tongue around the blades, pulled up, and finally... I chewed.
