"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

Easter 2012...


Easter has affected me this year as it has not ever done before. I feel free this year, or freer to be who I am, who I am becoming.

I feel okay being single, sleeping alone and I am enjoying my life at the moment.

Perhaps, I have gone through the Red Sea of my life and have experienced a resurrection and can now begin to participate creatively in a new life, to walk, to journey into the future unencumbered by the past.

A Poem For Easter 2012:


Reality and Possibility

Past hope, present horror, future doubt
All three collapsed
Into one
On the cross

Profound promises
Hang in a tortured pause
For three dark hours


Then

In one forsaken moment,

“My God, my God, why…”

Blackness

Death


“All your waves and breakers swept over me…”

The King breathed his last breathe

There will be no defiance of death today


Tears of sorrow and loss
Streak down women’s faces


For three days
“Deep calls to deep…”

Death’s deifier

One who promised exodus
Rises with the sun in the east

Son of Man


A new day
Love’s answer to pain

Resurrection

Sparkling creative life and light


Judgment of evil
Justice done

Paradise restoration inaugurated


“He is risen…”
New humanity being born

Creation set free

Through the sea of desperation

Jesus alive
The King has returned


So walk

Journey with Him

Into the world…
