"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

Amber at 20 ~ Happy Birthday...Love You!


 From your first breath
I have loved you
So know

If…
All the music ever stops

If…
All the words are ever spoken
 When there is nothing left

 Only…

“The stillness between two waves of the sea…”
In the silence of the night
When the light seems distant

I will always come to you
With my love
~ Dad

“No one tells you when its time

There are no warnings only signs
And you know that you're alone
You're not a child anymore
But you're still scared

All your mountains turn to rocks
All your oceans turn to drops
They are nothing like you thought
Can't be something you are not

Life is not a looking glass
Don't get tangled in your past
Like I am learning not to…”
~ Brandi Carlile
