I don’t know why cows seldom take a direct
route, even to important destinations like water troughs, salt licks, and
pastures. Cowpaths casually wander here and there with nary a right angle or
straight line, even when following a straight fence or road.
Bovine eye anatomy prevents them from seeing
directly in front or behind; perhaps they prefer a winding path so they can
better see where they’re headed. But wouldn’t it be easier to just swing their
heads a bit from side to side?
Do cows feel that straight lines are too
primitive, geometrical, or tedious? Do they find winding paths to be more
imaginative, interesting, and amusing? Or are they just insulted by hustle and
offended by bustle?
I don’t know.
“You will
show me the path of life; in Your presence is fullness of joy, at Your right
hand there are pleasures forevermore.” –PSALM 16:11 (AMP)
