"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

Nightminds...



(Music: Missy Higgins ~ Nightminds -- Images: Internet Sourced)



Just lay it all down
Put your face into my neck and let it fall out
I know I know I know
I knew before you got home
This world you're in now
It doesn't have to be alone
I'll get there somehow 'cause
I know I know I know
When even springtime feels cold
But I will learn to breathe this ugliness you see
 So we can both be there and we can both share the dark
And in our honesty together we will rise
Out of our nightminds and into the light
At the end of the fight...


You were blessed by
A different kind of inner view
 It's so magnified
The highs will make you fly
 But the lows make you want to die
And I was once there
Hanging from that very ledge where you are standing.
So I know I know I know,
It's easier to let go

But I will learn to breathe this ugliness you see
So we can both be there and we can both share the dark
And in our honesty together we will rise out of our nightminds
And into the light at the end of the fight.

...and in our honesty, together we will rise out of our nightminds
and into the light... at the end of the fight...

~ Missy Higgins
