"The world breaks every one and afterward many are strong at the broken places. But those that will not break it kills. It kills the very good and the very gentle and the very brave impartially. If you are none of these you can be sure it will kill you too but there will be no special hurry."
~ Ernest Hemingway, A Farewell To Arms



"Our lives disconnect and reconnect, we move on, and later we may touch one another, again bounce away. This is the felt shape of a human life, neither simply linear nor wholly disjunctive nor endlessly bifurcating, but rather this bouncey sequence of bumping into's and tumblings apart."
~ Salman Rushdie, The Ground Beneath Her Feet

My Place Today



At Caribou Coffee in Duluth for a few moments in time today and then back to St. Paul again, somewhat of a nomadic life at present. Had a great time in Two Harbors this past weekend – spent time with some friends “…that are as good as spring itself…” and experienced grace in so many of those moments! Posting a picture of where I stayed at a friend’s place because I believe there is such profoundness in the simplicity of places. The same feeling I had sleeping on the floor at Compton Baptist Church in St. Louis this past summer while on the Missions Trip there. A grace and a joy in such places that have a mystical sacredness to them due to the people you are sharing the time with while you are there – a sense of wonder at being alive in a community of grace and shared experience while on this journey of life. A continually weaving of all our stories through time places and words…
