"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

Running and Life...



Bill Bowerman said that if one could find meaning in the absurd pastime of running perhaps one could find meaning in the absurdity of life. I have run a lot in my life & found meaning in it ~ now I have lived some & found meaning in that as well. Yet, as in running & in life there are times to step off the track to run another day. It is hard to do ~ but there are always other races to be run...and other paths on the journey of life.
