Dr. Weeks’ Comment: Hopefully these political and economic troubles will bring out the best in us. Keep a journal. Like Leonard Cohen did…
Dear Diary
You are greater than the Bible
And the conference of the birds
And the Upanishads
All put together
You are more severe
Then the Scriptures
And Hammurabi’s code
More dangerous than Luther’s paper
Nailed it to the Cathedral door.
You are sweeter
Then the song of songs
Mike you’re by far
Then the epic of Gilgamesh
And braver
Then the Sagas of Iceland
I bow my head in gratitude
To the ones who give their lives
To keep the secret
The daily secret
Under lock and key
Dear diary
I mean no disrespect
But you are more sublime
Than any sacred text
Sometimes just a list
Of my events
Is holier than the Bill of Rights
And more intense.
Leonard Cohen
