Me and Mom go to garage sales down our block, our block being a line of campsites across the field from our motor home. Our town is the campground.
Upon seeing that me and Mom were actually buying things, a neighbor insisted we take a bulky metal chair that she didn’t want. There is a bunch of bickering as other elderly neighbors want to give away their stuff too, as a way of competing. Me and Mom retreat back to our camper, down the dirt road away from the bickering.
In the field at the end of the dirt road, there is a large buck. It strides over, and I am able to pet his rough hide. It is changes from a buck to a bull with orange-tan hair with the temperament of a cow. The hide is now fluffy and thick like a sheep or a buffalo.
I then went back into the motor home while Mom stays with the buck/bull. [continued]

The bull is associated with the symbolism of Taurus (q.v.). It is a highly
complex symbol, both from the historical and psychological point of view. In
esoteric tradition it is an emblem used by the Hyperboreans as a totem against the
dragon of the Negroes, and is equated with the god Thor, the son of heaven and of
woodland (49). In principle, this emblematic use symbolizes the superiority of
the mammal over the reptile, or of the Aryan over the Negro. The basic dilemma
lies between the interpretation of the bull as a symbol of the earth, of the mother,
and of the ‘wetness’ principle (11); and the view that it represents heaven and the
father. Mithraic ritual seems to have been founded on the former: the sacrifice of
the bull was expressive of the penetration of the feminine principle by the masculine, of the humid by the igniferous (the rays of the sun, the origin and cause of all fecundity). Krappe, investigating these paradoxes, has pointed to the fact that
the bull is the commonest tame animal of the Near East and relates this to the fact
that bulls are depicted as lunar as often as solar (that is, they may be subject to
either one or the other of the opposed principles we have just outlined). Sin was
a Mesopotamian lunar god and he often took the form of a bull; Osiris, also a lunar
god, was supposedly represented by the bull Apis. On the other hand, the Vedic
god Sûrya is a solar bull. According to the Assyrians, the bull was born of the sun.
Krappe explains this disparity not as an internal contradiction but as a consequence of the way in which the lunar and the solar cults succeed one another. The
lunar bull becomes solar when the solar cult supplants the more ancient cult of the
moon (35). But it may well be that the bull is first and foremost a lunar symbol
because it is equated with the moon morphologically by virtue of the resemblance
of the horns of the crescent moon, while it must take second place to the solar
symbol of the lion. This is the view expressed by Eliade, for example, who
suggests that the bull does not represent any of the astral bodies but rather the
fecundating sky and that, from the year 2400 B.C. onwards, both the bull and the
thunderbolt were symbols connected with the atmospheric deities, the bull’s
bellow being associated with the rolling of thunder. In all palaeo-oriental cultures,
it was the bull which expressed the idea of power. In Accadian, ‘to break the horn’
signified ‘to overpower’ (17). According to Frobenius, the black bull is linked
with the lower heaven, that is, with death. This belief prevailed in India; and in
lands as remote as Java and Bali which fell under the influence of Indian culture,
it was the custom to burn the bodies of princes in coffins shaped like bulls. There
are Egyptian paintings of a black bull bearing the corpse of Osiris on its back (22).
This interpretation is supported by Schneider’s observation that, in so far as the
bull corresponds to the intermediary zone between the Elements of Fire and
Water, it seems to symbolize the communicating link between heaven and earth,
a significance which could also apply to the bull of the royal tombs of Ur, which
has a head of gold (representing fire) and a jowl of lapis lazuli (water). The ox
symbolizes sacrifice, self-denial and chastity, and is also found in association
with agricultural cults (50); it is, in other words, the symbolic antithesis of the
bull, with its fecundating powers. If we accept that the bull is Uranian in implication, however, then the contradiction is resolved and the bull may be linked with
the active, masculine principle, although only in so far as its maternal aspect has
been superseded—supplanted, that is, by the son (the Sun or the lion). This, at
least, is what Jung has suggested, together with the idea that the bull, like the hegoat, is a symbol for the father (31).

All things that flow and grow were regarded in early religions as a symbol
of life: fire represented the vital craving for nourishment, water was chosen for its
fertilizing powers, plants because of their verdure in spring-time. Now, all—or
very nearly all—symbols of life are also symbolic of death. Media vita in morte
sumus, observed the mediaeval monk, to which modern science has replied La vie
c’est la mort (Claude Bernard). Thus, fire is the destroyer, while water in its
various forms signifies dissolution, as suggested in the Psalms. In legend and
folklore, the Origin of life—or the source of the renewal of the life forces—takes
the form of caves and caverns where wondrous torrents and springs well up (38).
