"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

Mark Knopfler and Emmylou Harris....If This Is Goodbye...



"Your bright shining sun
Would light up the way before me
You were the one
Made me feel I could fly
And I love you
Whatever is waiting for me
If this is good bye
If this is good bye....

My famous last words
Could never tell the story
Spinning unheard
In the dark of the sky
But I love you
And this is our glory
If this is good bye
If this is good bye..."

    WE have this CD and we love it. WE bought it after seeing these 2 in a concert in TO , outdoors. It was truly amazing! We dedicated the song ``Love and Happiness``from this CD to Kathleen when she left us the last time she returned to Japan... many moving songs on this CD. It seems that you are listening to songs that might make you sad...how are you right now.

    Here's a wishing well
    Here's a penny for
    Any thought it is
    That makes you smile
    Every diamond dream
    Everything that brings
    Love and happiness
    To your life.....

    This is on stanza from the song I mentioned. It is very pretty and warm. You might enjoy listening to it. I dedicate the above stanza to you.
