"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."

Divine Milieu...Neil Diamond & Waylon Jennings - One Good Love....Really - Is Grace Possible Like This?
"One good love
Can turn it all around
Take hold of a restless heart
And lead it back to solid ground
One good love Can take you to the light
With just one touch you can forget
A thousand empty nights
You can search the world for happiness
And never get enough
And all you really need to find
Is one good love..."
"The songs in your head are now on my mind..."
-Bono
Catherine wrote from Madrid that yes grace is possible like this...and yes, "Pick up your crazy heart and give it one more try..."

Do we really know who our true friends are?
ReplyDeleteAre they staring us straight in our face?
Are we putting the cart before the horse?
"The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile nor the joy of companionship,
It is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one
when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him."
"Happy is the house that shelters a friend"
Ralph Waldo Emerson
"We are,each of us angels with only one wing; and we can only fly by embracing one another."
Luciano do Crescenzo
There are sure a lot of people out there that need our friendship and embracing
"You are part of the furniture of our souls-
among the sacred things on the hearth"
George Eliot
