"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

Questions...What Is The Story?




I don’t want to answer questions nor do I want answers to questions ~  I want to ask more ~ to answer a question (whatever that may mean) is simply to create more questions. The questioning is the answer to the question…to question is to begin the interpretation of being. The journey of life is itself a text; it is not in the answering but in the asking that we move. The text of the journey is an interpretive endeavor as we walk at times alone and at other times with companions we meet along the way and ask ~ what is the story we are living?
