Contentment and curiosity


Walking by this field full of cows, 
I’m amused to see that the only one 
Who’s looking back at me 
 Is the only calf: perhaps, like so many humans, 
Cows lose their curiosity as they age, 
And tend to focus on satisfying 
Whatever needs they have in the moment 
Rather than learning more about the world 
 Beyond the narrow confines of their lives… 
How can we work to achieve a balance 
Between contentment and curiosity?
