There has never been anyone more influential for me - personally, philosophically, spiritually - than Kurt Vonnegut, Jr. He sits in the corner of my library, reminding me... everything was beautiful and nothing ever hurt.
You taught me many things, Papa V. How to laugh in the face of it, how to appreciate smallness, the value of simple things. How uncomplicated 'casual humor' can be for those willing to observe it. You were an avalanche of inspiration and creativity, swallowing up the imaginations of the world. I wish... I wish for just ten seconds I could have shared your air. You always left me breathless.
I will miss you, funny man.
And so it goes. |
