I am a series of small victories and large defeats and I am as amazed as any other that I have gotten from there to here
Charles Bukowski (via lonequixote)
I built my house beside the wood So I could hear you singing And it was sweet and it was good And love was all beginning Fare thee well my nightingale ‘Twas long ago I found you Now all your songs of beauty fail The forest closes 'round you The sun goes down behind a veil 'Tis now that you would call me So rest in peace my nightingale Beneath your branch of holly Fare thee well my nightingale I lived but to be near you Tho’ you are singing somewhere still I can no longer hear you
Leonard Cohen, “Nightingale’
RIP Leonard. I love you. I love you. I love you.

If a man is to live, he must be all alive, body, soul, mind, heart, spirit.
