January 12, 2010Dewey the Library Cat catalyzes communication. Don’t dismiss the fluff.
My husband and I are reading and enjoying Dewey: The Small Town Cat Who Touched the World.
The book is ostensibly about a somewhat remarkable cat that lived in an Iowa library. But it’s also about the pleasures and the trials and tribulations of Midwestern life and of the author, Vicki Myron. Dewey provides a doorway into the mind and heart of a cancer survivor. He provides a lot of doorways.
Animals can be amazing communication catalysts. And some of the most meaningful conversations we have can spring from seeming fluff. Pardon my pun, but it’s true. If you’re too quick to dismiss the fluff, you might miss the depth.
