"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

Not What You Think


To lead without leading,
Perfection in imperfection,
Succeeding in failing,
Going up in going down,
Grace in sinning,
Winning in loosing,
Expression in absorption,
Life in death,
Certainty in uncertainty,
Faith in doubt,
Creativity in suffering,
Love in hate,
Victory in the Cross.
