"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

Refuge





“Who will pull me up from the ashes?
Who will lift me from the ground?
When the one who built my refuge?
Is the one who burned it down…”
~ Larry Campbell


I’m a heavy soul
Will you bare the weight
Inside I have darkness
Will you be the light
I really like you
Really more than like
I want to say
The three sacred words
When the time is right
I feel you in the wind baby
In my thoughts
The sun sings your name
As my heart is turning to yours
For refuge
For healing in the night
