Kevin Kling, and what the dog says

Humorist, storyteller, writer Kevin Kling has lost the use of both his arms so he writes using voice translator software. One day while he was working a dog and cat began to fight behind him. The machine dutifully transcribed, and on the screen the dog said, "How?" and the cat said, "Why?"

In this first day of Spring with new losses and new arrivals, with the soft, moist air making the world shadowless, I laugh and catch my breath at the depth of metaphor in all of life.

    I am sorry for your losses. All these so many new beginnings though. Take them as peace of mind.

  2. "The nature of reality vs. the reality of nature..." Yes. How the whole world has a voice and we forget how to listen.
