Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That’s how the light gets in
That’s how the light gets in
That’s how the light gets in.
~ Leonard Cohen, Anthem

Cracks and warts and stinkiness are part of the human perfection.
Yes!

Perhaps that’s why I glow all the time – it’s not hot flashes – it’s all the damn cracks. Bless ’em.

He sang this at a concert in Melbourne soon after the Black Saturday bushfires – I’m pretty sure everyone was in tears! What a writer.

unforgettable!
I am who I am, warts and all!
Me too. Whether I like it or not!

Thanks for sharing Todd
I got a lot of light coming in!
yes, among other things! 🙂
Wow. Reading another book lately, and that same line by Cohen was referenced in the context – and I underlined the section, then took a snap with my phone camera so I could easily reference and share. And there you are, with the same thing. Wow, how did you do that?
Cosmic Connection. Wow!
My Anthem too. Lots of cracks, hoping the light gets in at some point.
Me too Tiny. Let the light flow.
Love this!
Me too! Thanks Vicki
