"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

Interruption....



When life starts to feel normal (whatever that is) or routine, or becomes routine.

Stop! Halt!

Then proceed to do something radical, unpredictable, and what will appear to most people as not making any sense.

This is how it is to follow God.

The interruptions in life - whether self imposed or unexpected are what create who we already are, but what the mundane silences and buries.
