"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

Divine Milieu...Kasey Chamber's Lyrics - This Mountain...For My Friend Mary Lloyd...

Well a wise man once said to me
If your heart don't break you won't be free
But I'm as free as a bird
Flying out over
Flying out over the sea

I call out to the wind
No one comes to let me in
I hear the thunder
The weight on my shoulders
The weight upon my shoulder is crushing me

Shine down on this mountain
Rain down on my face
Call out to the river
To wash me out
To wash me out of this place

Well I wish that I was a sailorman
With the wheel of the ship held in my hand
[ Kasey Chambers Lyrics are found on www.getlyrics.com ]
But I don't like the water
I'm more like the anchor
I wish I was the anchor in me

Sometimes I wish I was a sin
So the ones I love wouldn't let me in
I wouldn't have to try to find the answers
To give 'em all the answers they need

Shine down on this mountain
Rain down on my face
Call out to the river
To wash me out
To wash me out of this place

Well a wise man once said to me
If your heart don't break you won't be free
But I'm as free as a bird
Flying out over
Flying out over the sea
