"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

I Want To


I want to touch you

I want to be touched by you

I want to melt the ice around your heart

I want to light a candle inside the darkness of your soul

I want us to wake up from the loneliness together

Wrapped in each other's arms

Sunshine dancing on our bodies

While the spring breeze moves through the room

Coffee and conversation

Without pretense or hesitation in our silences
