Highlanders

On my way to the massage therapist yesterday

I drove by these magnificent creatures and

Of course had to stop and take their photo.

One guy was rather close to me and

Graciously stood in place while I captured his image.

I asked my therapist what they were

She said, "Scottish Highland bulls," also

Reporting that other clients had wondered

If they were goats or llamas, both guesses

that left her perplexed at their stupidity.

I defended with, well, some folks lead

very urban lives, but she was having

none of it, pointing out, "This is Durham,"

There are cows everywhere.

Still, I didn't know what they were,

but I could at least define their boviness.

God is in the details

and this moment of wonder and beauty

which I initially passed by but

turned the car around to view

Provided the needed lift I sorely

craved.
