That’s How the Light Gets In

Ring the bells that still can ring

Forget your perfect offering

There is a crack in everything

That’s how the light gets in.

Leonard Cohen, from Anthem

One of my favorite quotes, from the lyrics of the great Leonard Cohen.

Happy Saturday.

  1. Claudia, That is cute. I hope you are doing well away from your home and loved ones. I read the posts I had missed.:):) I think it’s more like home with your own things scattered about.xoxo,Susie

  10. I love Leonard Cohen even more now. Beautiful poem. It encourages us to make mistakes and be honest about our flaws. That’s probably one way (my way) to see it. :-) Happy weekend.

    • I see it the same way, Regula. As someone who tends toward perfectionism, these wise words mean a great deal to me. Happy weekend.
