In the first few months after my last lover of 3 years plus left - TopicsExpress



          

In the first few months after my last lover of 3 years plus left me, she sent a link that she was reading Christopher Hitchens last work Mortality. Both her parents are in their 70s, her mother is not dealing well with diabetes and her father has his own travails. She knows how much my fathers saga has wrought agony in my life; just because it was so goddamn pointless. Christopher Hitchens writing and speaking style was much like my father. ITs very haunting to read this. And then the haunt finds ways to multiply itself; in ways hard to explain to anyone. So while reading Hitchens tonight, a Google Plus book on my computer, one may simply highlight a word or passage and search Google for it - where there is a link to Leonard Cohen. I only heard of him from a spot in The Watchmen soundtrack; obviously this man has had quite a storied career of his own for decades, and his delivery is haunting. So tonight I read the Hitchens book, click the link, and encounter this https://youtube/watch?v=oI7tuRn3RC0 Remember, Hitchens is an unapologetic atheist, as am I. But we can still be moved. And I am moved. Again. From Judas Priest to Leonard Cohen - and so it goes. _________________________ If It Be Your Will If it be your will That I speak no more And my voice be still As it was before I will speak no more I shall abide until I am spoken for If it be your will If it be your will That a voice be true From this broken hill I will sing to you From this broken hill All your praises they shall ring If it be your will To let me sing From this broken hill All your praises they shall ring If it be your will To let me sing If it be your will If there is a choice Let the rivers fill Let the hills rejoice Let your mercy spill On all these burning hearts in hell If it be your will To make us well And draw us near And bind us tight All your children here In their rags of light In our rags of light All dressed to kill And end this night If it be your will If it be your will.
