"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

A Conversation...

 
 



A conversation I once had:


"I love you."

"I know." She replied. "I can tell by the way you look at me."

"What would you do if I kissed you?"

"Kiss you back." She answered.


And then the moment slipped away into the afternoon light as we sat across from each other at the cafe content in knowing the truth. We loved and we confessed it and we knew more in those moments than many feel in a lifetime.
