"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...Lou Reed - Perfect Day...
Was at the breakwall in Two Harbors with Amber last night and we were talking and she played Lou Reed, "Perfect Day" and I had forgot how much I liked this song. It brought to mind some of the "Perfect Days" that have been just right, or full of grace and peace and poetic memories. Time and space shared with friends that are, "...as good as spring itself..." - last night was that way with Amber.
