"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

Writing


I like writing
In dimly lit bars
Alone
To cleanse my soul
When it is raining
When the words come
In coffee shops with good hot coffee
In places of mystery and inspiration
In places of silence and solitude
When I am deep inside myself
When the sun comes out
Sitting by water
Making poetic memories
When I am at peace
I like writing
