        2. And your experience so reminded me of this passage from Beth’s blog – replace “horse” with “cow”:

          Sometimes it seems God could be
          the eye of a horse that holds
          a darkened lake, some boat of light
          upon wind swept grain. And here
          among the opened white scroll
          of clouds trapped inside a water trough
          lies a baptism without some doctrine.”

  6. They are so-o precious! I’ll bet that mama just needs a moment (to rest) but she’s totally attentive.
    Did anyone see the recent PBS showing of Lawrence of Arabia (restored version)? Beautiful camels (and many horses) doing their thing.
