In my art studio, I have Leonard Cohen's lines from "Anthem" to remind me of something very like this - "Ring the bells that still can ring,/ Forget your perfect offering./ There's a crack in everything./ That's how the light gets in."

Great post!

I was going to post the very same lines from 'Anthem.' love the dovetailing of the poem with his life's work. excellent parallels with plate tectonics & human nature. as always, so gracefully written and so precise in observations about human nature. can we vote so you can guest blog for another week? ;)

I left it
on when I
left the house
for the pleasure
of coming back
ten hours later
to the greatness

in the corner
of the bedroom
