If I spelled out the Principles of Faith I would be barking on the moon. - Leonard Cohen

A teacher I once had told me that the older you get, the lonelier you become and the deeper the love you need. Loneliness creates an appetite for deeper love, and the entire predicament deepens. And as a result of suffering, your capacity to love deeply increases.

There is no decent place to stand
In a massacre
But if a woman takes your hand
Then go and stand with her

need to see
I never saw
your need for me
your longing raw
