I found that things became a lot easier when I no longer expected to win. You abandon your masterpiece and sink into the real masterpiece. - Leonard Cohen

Here is your cross, Your nails and your hill; And here is your love, That lists where it will

Well Marianne it's come to this time when we are really so old and our bodies are falling apart and I think I will follow you very soon. Know that I am so close behind you that if you stretch out your hand, I think you can reach mine. … And you know that I've always loved you for your beauty and your wisdom, but I don't need to say anything more about that because you know all about that. But now, I just want to wish you a very good journey. Goodbye old friend. Endless love, see you down the road.

As our eyes grow accustomed to sight they armour themselves against wonder.
