At Birth

 

Here is a portion of what poet and song writer, Leonard Cohen,


said in a 2005 tribute to his life and songs. I find it a profound


and fascinating perspective from an adult speaking about the


beginning of his life.



I was born in chains. I was alive. I was alive at the horror.


The givers huddled over me like a football team. They started


to give me things and then to take them away. The things that


didn’t fit they chucked back into the funnel of the void.


The gifts were many, and many were the warnings that went


with them…”



Leonard Cohen 1934-2016
