She could see into its eye, and she could see that there were whole other worlds inside the eye of the cow. And she knew the cow could see further than we see and see brighter lights than what we see. They could see beyond the traces that we can see. And so she harvested the eyes of the cow as a reminder for us that there’s always more than what we see or more than what we can follow. And we will never be able to see everything. We’ll never be able to see it all.
