"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

Spiritual Warfare...The Matrix - Fight Song...



"For our struggle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the powers of this dark world and against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly realms." (Eph 6:12)

"But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body." (2Co 4:7-10)

"Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that your fellow believers throughout the world are undergoing the same kind of sufferings. And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast." (1Pe 5:8-10)



Sometimes it starts with a silent curse
Sometimes it doesn't waste time
You still think I look upon this with hatred in my mind
I won't lie It took some time
But I know one thing It took me away from!

All the things love gave me
So I had to let things go!
I can go another round despite you.
I'm still healing
No I'm not reeling
Yes I'm feeling
This is my fight song

Now I'm left with a scar to reverse.
Yes another burden to fight I guess
I made it this far so I know things will be alright
I won't lie I will survive I'm still healing

No I'm not reeling
Yes I'm feeling
This is my fight song

But I know one thing
It takes me away from
All the things love gave me
So I had to let things go!
It's so hard to forget
But I must let go...and begin
To live again and not give in

I figured out I will land on solid ground
I will land on solid ground
I will go another round
I can go another round despite you.
I'm still healing

No I'm not reeling
Yes I'm feeling
This is my fight song!
