"A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh.” Leonard Cohen

“Poetry is just the evidence of life. If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash.”

“This world is full of conflicts and full of things that cannot be reconciled. But there are moments when we can… reconcile and embrace the whole mess, and that’s what I mean by ‘Hallelujah.'”

“Children show scars like medals. Lovers use them as secrets to reveal. A scar is what happens when the word is made flesh.”
