"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...Neil Diamond - Done Too Soon...

“Perhaps grace comes in release. Release from our demons and all that it is that has haunted and darkened our hearts, all that has caused us to grow old too soon without an abundant life. When grace comes, release comes, life comes and then freedom. It is better to be done too soon and have been fully alive than to be done to soon and have merely exist till death, for you are already dead.”



"And each one there
Has one thing shared:
They have sweated beneath the same sun,
Looked up in wonder at the same moon,
And wept when it was all done

For bein’ done too soon,
For bein’ done too soon..."
