Local cows dropped by to cheer me up and calm my mind.

in #hive-1503294 days ago

Living in the countryside far away from big cities and crowds has been very beneficial for my health and mind. The big trees with all the thick green leaves were great for soothing tired eyes and cleanse my busy brain. I would be reminded to pause my engagement on social media and stop being too mesmerized by digital world of reality. I needed to keep a balance in my daily life and to live in the present moment.

So, it was a nice surprise to have a family of cows dropping by in front of my house. I was watering the plants when I first saw a cow walking towards the gate. I went to meet this cow to ask him what he’s doing in this area. There were several cows along the dirt road. A villager has taken his cows to forage the weeded areas along the dirt road. These cows seemed very friendly and curious about other people. They weren’t afraid of strangers at all.

The dry season meant that the fields became very dry and all the grasses went brown. The villager had to find alternative sources of food for his herd of cows. These cows did a very good job at getting rid of weeds along the road. I was quite tempted to invite a small cow into out garden to get rid of some stubborn weeds. But my gardener told me that these cows would eat all the small plants and fruit trees. I wished we could have tied a small cow in an area then move him to the other corner to eat all the weeds in all the corners.

I thought some of these cows were very smart or somewhat psychic. They could read ny mind. I told them telepathically that I would like to meet the whole family including the little one. To my surprise, older cows started to walk towards me and other cows started to come closer. I told them I would like to take close up photos of the whole clan. They kindly obliged and came up very close to the gate. I could take several close up photos.

This kind of reality is very different to busy and noisy traffic on roads in the big city. I would have to make a big effort to make exceptional progress with the packing up of my belongings. The packing was supposed to be finished two years ago! But things just kept happened to obstruct the winding down process. It was as if something or someone didn’t want me to leave my old comfort zone. But time is running shorter and shorter, I could feel the urgency. Perhaps there were some okd karma which I had to give mu paybsck before I was allowed to start a new leaf.

I envy those simple cows with simple concern about finding grass and edible weeds. Being a human being, one has several big bundles of emtional complexes which cried out to br resolved before I could be let free on my way. So, I found myself trying to connect with old relatives so that I would have my last chance od seeing them face to face. I had very good memories so past episodes kept coming back to haunt me. I needed to resolve these emotional conflicts and misunderstandings as much as possible before I could leave this reality with peaceful mind.

Wishing you peace, good health and prosperity.

Stay strong and cheerful.

It was so nice of the cows to stop by your home and take time to visit with you. They are such gentle animals and so loving too. You needed that visit to you on that day. ♥

I was very lucky to have these lovely cows coming to see me and cheer me up. It was better than having my friend paying a visit! 🙀😂

These are soooo beautiful cows, especially the little calfs! I want to pet them! 😍

So glad you like these cows, they are very gentle and friendly. Thank you so much for your kind words.

My dream is to one day have a farm like this, with cows, horses, chickens and a home for stray dogs and cats.
Oh, and in the middle, a lake for the animals to drink from and raise fish.
In short, a huge and populated farm.
I see your post and I see my dream come true.
Thank you.

That’s a very beautiful dream you have for a big farm. I have to warn you that a big farm will give you a lot of work! You would need four to five people to look after your big farm. We don’t have cows but we have two cats and a big garden with fruit trees and lots of bananas.

Thank you very much @qurator and @ewkaw for your kind support and encouragement.

Some cool cows and they are a resourceful animal to own. Gardner probably right they might do more damage than good in your garden. Though there not aggressive it may be difficult to keep them focused in one area. Maybe as you suggest a small one would work 😊 Oh goodness the coldest day of the year here I want sun and cows eating weeds, haha. Take care.

I wish I could send you our hot weather! The temperature is about 25 degree Celsius in the countryside. I hope the cold front or vortex would finish soon.

This year our winter has been much colder than last year and lasted one month longer. It was quite painful when it got dork to 10 degree Celsius. Even the orange cats could feel the cold!
We wouldn’t survive your kind of winter weather! 🙀😂

Haha the tempearture this morning was -23° C now add the wind and snow covered ground it's even more cold. I thought about just syaying in bed and pull the blankets tighter 😅

How majestic and beautiful they are. I can't imagine killing it for food. I wish I had cows roaming around here, but the most we see are dogs dressed up in winter outfits and boots, going for a walk, or squirrels.

Oh! I hope the cold weather would go away soon! You need lots of warm sunshine to boost the immune system and spirits.

Yup. These cows seem to be very smart and they understand what we are saying to them. I dread the way the villagers could raise these cows and then sell them when they get older. They are like big pets to me as they are quite a sensitive to other living beings.

Curiosity in the cow gave you great photographs!
Fantastic!
