Why this song makes my heart cry
and can't stop. Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack
A crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
by Leonard Cohen.... The anthem
The birds they sang
at the break of day
Start again
I seem to hear them say
Do not dwell on what
has passed away
or what is yet to be.
Ah the wars they will
be fought again
The holy dove
She will be caught again
bought and sold
and bought again
the dove is never free.
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack
A crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.
We asked for signs
and the signs were sent:
the birth betrayed
the marriage spent
Yeah the widowhood
of every single government
signs for all to see
I can't run no more
with that lawless crowd
Ah but they've summoned, they've summoned up
a thundercloud
and they're going to hear from me.
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack
A crack in everything
That's how the light gets in
You can add up the parts
but you won't have the sum
You can strike up the march
on your little broken drum
Every heart, every heart
to love will come
but like a refugee
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.
Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, 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
After reading on Human misfits article (Jean Vanier author) “They were seen as misfits of nature, not as human beings,” he wrote in his 1998 book “Becoming Human.” Living in their midst allowed him to “recognize and accept my own weaknesses and vulnerability. I no longer have to pretend I am strong or clever or better than others.”
I jolted down my own words, Today having a couple hours to myself deciding, should I go out or stay in and reflect on life. Life is a strange emotion given us the instant it's created. The XX and XY will determine the sex and thus starts life. Can there be an anomaly, sure that it does happen. Was it accepted in other centuries, maybe yes - maybe no. Persecutions, violence, maiming,death or just abandoned was normal throughout the centuries. Are we more advanced today than 100, 500, 2000 years ago? some might say yes, but those persecuted will say no. We judge, discreetly or not, but we still judge. If I'm not good in my skin, I will make efforts to accept myself, then presenting myself to the world as I really am. Do not judge me for what I look like, but judge me for the courage I had in showing it to you.....
