"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

Perhaps Grace Is Like This...Making Peace With God...



“God, make a fresh start in me,
Shape a Genesis week from the chaos of my life,
Don’t throw me out with the trash,
Or fail to breathe holiness in me.
Bring me back from exile,
Put a fresh wind in my sails!
Give me a job teaching rebels your ways,
So the lost can find their way home.”

- David (Psalm 51:10-13 - The Message Translation)
