My encounter
I have met many cows in my life. I grew up near dairy farms, falling asleep to the music of the cow’s moos. Then, of course, I went to India and I would have to be totally oblivious to my surroundings if I did not see the cows. I also have been collecting cow memorabilia for about 10 years. It is only recently, however, cows came into my dreams, finding myself in a fenced in pasture with black and white cows, feeling safe. (The cow 'goddess' pictured is 'Kamadhenu'. She is considered the 'mother of all cows.' Photo taken by Jennifer Kumar in Srividya Temple, Rush
