"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

Some Grace...SaraKay Smullens: The Complexities of Letting Go

Grace in these words:

"Life events always evoke past hopes, dreams, commitments, and deep losses. Such flashes tell us both that we are human, and that there is no better teacher than life itself.

And this is the mantra all who divorce, either by one's own choice or the choice of the other, or mutually, are wise to hold on to: We are human. Life will bring us gratitude as well as regret. Feelings can be unexpected and complicated. And if we work very hard to accept this, we can and will move forward to something fulfilling. Not perfect, for nothing ever can be perfect over the long haul. But fulfilling, none the less."
