good bye kurt vonnegut! this news saddens me because of all the people possible to check in with about what it is to be human, kurt has checked out. i read his books in my twenties and then again in my forties....and the same words had an entirely different meaning in the twenty years of my bumbling around. his writing helped me anchor my own vague thoughts and slow epiphonies about what we are doing here. secular humanism, human cruelty, those unaware workings of the divine, and the hiccups of family and loss. if i'm lucky i'll read them all again in my sixties and realize once more that i know so little. be a baby!
