{urbanmonks meeting April 24, 1931}

People, people. Please find your seats.

Ok, then.  Let me begin by thanking you all for coming out here on a Thursday evening.

Ladies and gentlemen.  My briefest of meditations this evening surround the notion of humility.

There was a little brown cow
how i know this, heres how -

I drank the milk from the teet
engorged on this dairy so sweet
there on my knees in the hay
inside the barn, on this spring day

and now when i get all tangled up this humans life
everyone running, finding a man or a wife

i lick my lips and recall
how








it felt like
in that moment
to be a young cow
