"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

Awake...

“For some reason the most important thing to me was actually seeing the baby come out of you yourself and making sure it was yours. I thought if you had to have all that pain anyway you might as well stay awake.” ~ Sylvia Plath, The Bell Jar

 

 
 
 
 
What is birthed from pain? Can you bear to watch yourself being born? Knowing the pain is the process, the journey, the way you are birthed as a human being – a second birth of transformation. Will you be awake to the possibilities, the experience, the joy?
