“There is a crack in everything.
That’s how the light gets in.”
These oft-quoted lines from Leonard Cohen are some of the most beautiful words to ever be strung together.
To me, they speak of hope. The full and complete appreciation of light when submerged in darkness. This is a theme I explore often—both in life and in writing.
Nothing is perfect. Nothing is flawless. And therein lies the beauty.
When we are broken, it is at that time and it is at the place where the break is, that the light gets in.
Leonard Cohen’s poetry and songs have touched many. His voice, singing his remarkable words, never fail to bring me to tears.
Things are broken. But now the light can find its way in.
