A week before Pesach, sitting outside at night working under the stars. A plane crossed the sky and looked like it was heading straight for the moon.
Immediately a chain reaction of images went off in my head. A Rube Goldberg of events, one thing crashing into the next. It felt like Chad Gadya, the Passover song where one thing leads to another leads to another.
The story became about a cow who is too busy looking at his phone to see what is happening around him. The alphabet bridge is every acronym we scroll past without thinking.
The message is simple: take a step back, pay attention, and you start to see the connections in the everyday. You start to see the hand of the Creator.

Lyrics
Tonight I saw the cow crash into the moon
But all the cow saw was a silver spoon
Reflecting back the sun from behind
Don't worry the cow went blind
He didn't see it coming, this whole time
He didn't see it coming
Didn't see it coming
This whole time
Yesterday I saw the dog chase the cat
That got the stick, who slipped on the puddle
Who fell on the bucket and tripped on the stick
Don't worry it was a trick
He didn't see it coming, this whole time
He didn't see it coming
Didn't see it coming
This whole time
He didn't see it coming, this whole time
He didn't see it coming
Didn't see it coming
This whole time
