"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

What Would of Been Twenty...January 12, 1992...Please Remember Me...

“When all our tears have reached the sea
Part of you will live in me
Way down deep inside my heart…”


“Remember me when you're out walkin'
When snow falls high outside your door
Late at night when you're not sleepin'
And moonlight falls across your floor
When I can't hurt you anymore…”



“Your absence has gone
Through me
Like thread through a needle
Everything I do is
Stitched with its color.”
~ W.S. Merwin, Separation

    For you on this day of remembrance......
    Some say that forgiveness is the balm which heals all wounds and is the blanket for the soul.
    "Like stitches on a well loved quilt,
    love & faith mends the soul."

    "nothing is more desirable than to be released from an affliction, but nothing is more frightening than to be divested of a crutch"

    If only we can begin life anew, & have peace with our ghosts from the past.
