"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

Alanis Morissette and Spiritual Activism...


"You, you who has smiled when you’re in pain
You who has soldiered through the profane
They were distracted and shut down..."
~ Alanis



Alanis Morissette ~ Guardian


From: Macleans comes an article on Alanis Morissette ~  Elio Iannacci writes,
Morissette’s next focus is what she calls spiritual activism. During the making of Havoc and Bright Lights, she read works by Adyashanti and Gangaji—two American-born spiritual teachers who have undergone a series of transformative awakenings, and Morissette has made a point of seeing the Dalai Lama speak any chance she gets. She is also writing a book with the support of one of her favourite self-help authors, Debbie Ford, who will help her focus on it as soon as her upcoming tour is finished.
