Don't Have a Cow

 How do we define story?

Some people (too many people) define a story as anything with a beginning, middle, and end. Therefore I declare this cow is a story.

Cow: beginning, middle and end                                            Butchery for Dummies

Maybe that definition is a wee bit simplistic. After all, any phenomenon that is neither a single point nor infinite, that has terminal duration in space or time, can be divided

“So does the eager earth send up shoots through the burial mound and cover it in green. The bones of men are buried beneath every house in every street and along every country ride. The coffins are stacked one atop another all the way down to the center of the earth. Yet mourning is not the natural mould of man. The heart is buoyant as a channel marker.”
Timothy Miller

“This is the place of my song-dream, the place the music played to me," whispered the Rat, as if in a trance.
"Here, in this holy place, here if anywhere, surely we shall find Him!”
Kenneth Grahame, The Wind in the Willows

“If what Billy Pilgrim learned from the Tralfamadorians is true, that we will all live forever, no matter how dead we may sometimes seem to be, I am not overjoyed. Still--if I am going to spend eternity visiting this moment and that, I'm grateful that so many of those moments are nice.”
Kurt Vonnegut, Slaughterhouse-Five

“Soon, leedle proletarians, ve vill have free picnic in the cool shade, ve vill eat hot dogs and trink free beer beneath the villow trees! Like hogs, yes! Like beautiful leedle hogs!”
Eugene O'Neill, The Iceman Cometh

“So does the eager earth send up shoots through the burial mound and cover it in green. The bones of men are buried beneath every house in every street and along every country ride. The coffins are stacked one atop another all the way down to the center of the earth. Yet mourning is not the natural mould of man. The heart is buoyant as a channel marker.”
Timothy Miller

“The man bent over his guitar,
A shearsman of sorts. The day was green.
They said, "You have a blue guitar,
You do not play things as they are."
The man replied, "Things as they are
Are changed upon the blue guitar."
And they said then, "But play, you must,
A tune beyond us, yet ourselves,
A tune upon the blue guitar
Of things exactly as they are.”
Wallace Stevens, The Collected Poems
