"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

After

Is God speaking?
Whispering the answers

(for resurrection)
(for restoration)

Only after
The questions are no longer asked?

After time
After pain
After storms
After vertigo
After silence
After tears
After darkness
After confusion
After undiluted slog
After liminal space
After being ship wrecked and broken

After it all
Now
The rainbow of release
