Why?

August 23, 2022 by Don Kuhl

I spent two hours all by myself on my 77th birthday. I sat in a rickety old chair behind the toolshed. Sherry wasn’t looking for me. My dogs were up the hill, hoping to find a slow rabbit (there’s no such thing as a slow rabbit in Washoe Valley). My cell phone was lost somewhere in the house.

I had looked forward to this time for days. I had one question to ponder: Why?

Why am I still alive?  

Why was I created in the first place?

Why did I make the choices I made?

I’m great at making long lists of the whats in my life story. They don’t get at this emotional itch that nags at me.

It’s all about the why.

I can do some little great things in my days ahead.

If only I can answer the why.
