Leonard Cohen Lyric






Excerpt from Anthem by Leonard Cohen

'Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in'


I was at a 'Mental Health Breakfast' in Hamilton, Ontario this morning to hear Valerie Pringle and her daughter Catherine Pringle speak about mental health.  It was a great event.  Valerie closed her talk with the above quote.

Anything that allows for and even encourages you to be imperfect...I am all over it.  We're all imperfect, but I think sometimes what causes so much stress is the constant attempt to be perfect.  It's useless, people!  (Thank goodness, because I couldn't accomplish it anyway.)
