"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

Splashes of Light....

"When you are praying alone, and your spirit is dejected,and you are wearied and oppressed by your lonliness, remember then, as always, that God the Trinity looks upon you with eyes brighter than the sun."
-St. John of Kronstadt

“Splashes of light…”
Illumination of a vacant identity
Anonymous
The turning of a page
Of an obscure, dark, cold life
A face without eyes
Expressionless emotion
Books without words
Limitless blank grace
Breaking through the cracks of stone
Broken body, empty soul
Gazed upon now by the stare of the Trinity
“….eyes brighter than the sun.”
“Splashes of light…”
