"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

Will Never Be...


When I sleep
You are in my dreams
When I wake
You are in my thoughts
In the moments
Between dreaming and waking
We are lost
In the desert of the real
A simulacrum of illusions
Intermittent remembrances
Fragments and crumbs from another life
Of what was
And
Will never be again

    Our Savior Jesus stands ready to encourage us when dark moments of life force us to embrace a new normal. We are thankful that in the darkest seasons of life, He will never abandon us. He guides us with His never-failing presence through both the welcome & unwelcome changes of life.
