“There’s a blaze of light in every word;
it doesn’t matter which you heard,

Edinburgh sunset — Edinburgh, Scotland; December 2016

I’ve told the truth, I didn’t come to fool you.
And even though it all went wrong,

with nothing on my lips but Hallelujah!”

–Lines taken from the legendary song “Hallelujah” by the legendary Canadian poet and songwriter Leonard Cohen (1934-November 7, 2016)

–Pierre Teilhard de Chardin (1881-1955), French Philosopher & Paleontologist
