a lesson from the cows

I went home over this weekend, and on the drive back I noticed something unusual/funny. I was just cruising along 46, and out in the field there was this long line of cows just single-file following one another. It seems strange that just one cow walking home to the barn got every other cow follow her in. And I know its a weird parallel, but it got me thinking about how many people would follow my actions. (not that they would fall into line right behind me) but the influence I have on others seems like a powerful thing.
