"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

Candle



"I wanted to forget the past, but it refused to forget me; it waited for sleep, then cornered me."
~ Margaret Atwood, Lady Oracle



love 
is
a warm kiss on a cold night
a soft word and a gentle touch

(to know your not alone)

driving
all night
to a burning 
candle
in a window
lit for only you
