"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

Tolkien - From Darkness to Light...



Perhaps grace at certain times and in certain places comes as release! Release from our demons and all that it is that has haunted and darkened our hearts, all that has contributed to us too soon growing old and living as if we were dead already, in a darkness. When grace comes, release comes and so does light and life – freedom to live!
