Bull
Photos to be added
The bull is another one of those physical realities that you don't fully grasp the effect of until you actually get into the pen or up-close and personal with one.
I'm not telling you to jump into the bullpen but if you get the chance to get close to a bull and place your hand on it's forehead you will feel the actual immensity of the thing and it is
really quite a power. The bull is driven by its primal instincts and does not commonly falter from its expected realm or path.
Try to change a bull and you'll see that you can't just talk to it and have it do what you want it to do.
History has taught us that when you can domesticate a bull and get the animal to help you that you have much more ability than when the animal is just grazing and looking for a
cow to breed with. I could go on at great length of the symbolic nature of the animal and the many years that mankind has used the animal for their entertainment and sustenance,
but that point is kind of stupid.
I've read authors that write about the essence and ancient flux of the primal nature of the bull also which, once again to me is pointless aside from what you place as a point of power
within your own views.
For instance; a professional wrestler can gain a great deal of psychological strength and thus exude more of an ability to do his job using the concepts and feelings of power obtained
by him when he was himself with a bull and feeling the bonding nature with the animal.
The sheer bulk of the frame and power in its structure alone can be very intense when you're up close and personal.
But then again I feel that if you were to bond in this way with an old tree you could gain this same aspect within yourself.
After all when a bull rushes an old tree which one is more likely to be left standing?
That may be a poor example because bulls are known to have head butted a tree until it falls over.
They can be bull headed.
