"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

Thoughts...

I was in a bar reading Frederick Buechner and this question comes to me - did God know fully what it was he created in humans when he created us or not until God in Jesus experienced being human and then knew? And conversely do we not know God fully until we are fully human through Jesus? It is in, on, upon, through Jesus that all is known and knowable. It is as if everything - both human and divine are not known until passed in some way through or by Jesus - he is the meaning and defining point of all reality.
Hmmm....
