I wish the beginning worked as well as the end. It was about a very
strange, "defining" moment and it is very hard to describe the interplay
between human and animal because all the thinking for the animal is
assumed by the human. Traps: sentimentality, or what I did--a kind of
hardassed tone with somewhat extraneous material that doesn't get at
what I began to get at only midway through, the action itself minus
set-ups, etc.
"Love Does That." I hate to admit this, but I stole the words from a
poem about an overburdened donkey fed by a passer-by; I think it was
written by Master Eckhard filtered through a guy named Daniel Ladinsky,
who I've seen condemned as (gasp) New Age and, worse, as a translator
who makes everyone sound like himself. I wish I could find the original
poem which I remember as a sweet, simple look at the kind of
communication I tried to describe.
