"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

Divine Milieu...Derek Webb - A New Law...



Don’t teach me about politics and government,
Just tell me who to vote for.

Don’t teach me about truth and beauty,
Just label my music.

Don’t teach me how to live like a free man,
Just give me a new law.

I don’t wanna know if the answers aren’t easy,
So just bring it down from the mountain to me.

I want a new law...
I want a new law...
Gimme that new law...

Don’t teach me about moderation and liberty,
I prefer a shot of grape juice.

Don’t teach me about loving my enemies

Don’t teach me how to listen to the Spirit,
Just give me a new law.

What’s the use in trading a law you can never keep,
For one you can that cannot get you anything,
Do not be afraid…
Do not be afraid…
Do not be afraid…
