What the Egret Told the Cow is a playful reflection on growing older without losing our sense of wonder. Across two paintings, the egret shares a quiet conversation with the cow, reminding her of the playful calf she once was: that part of ourselves that still wants to leap, explore, laugh and find joy in the little things. The accompanying original poem invites us to reconnect with that inner child and remember that play is not something we grow out of, but something we carry within us. Part of the Conversations of the Wild series.
