Re: Random LC moment I am adoring today
Well, I was walking down Toronto's Queen Street West in the hot sun yesterday afternoon when I came Across a sidewalk painter. He noticed my unified hearts pendant ( a beautiful gift from lovely Judy on Hydra this June). I asked him to include it in his next design. He said : "I always do," sweeping his arms wide so I noticed what he was painting:
He told me he loves The music of Leonard Cohen, but believes the unified heart image originated with Jesus and Mary Magdalene, and that it is a symbol of the Holy Grail....
The caption at the bottom of his painting says" Sometimes things catch your eye, but pursue only those that capture your heart" ( or similar...)Re: Random LC moment I am adoring today
my brother doesn't like Leonard Cohen and I am personally responsible for ruining every last chance he had of enjoying Leonard's music, by forcing him to listen to it 24/7 for quite a while..
but I bought the little black songbook last week and I visited my brother today and I showed it to him...and at the end of our evening I asked him to play So Long, Marianne, expecting he would refuse.
he agreed to play it and answered to my surprised face by saying "I like this song - why wouldn't I?"
so he played it and I sang and I gave him a big hug at the end and it all made me so happy..

A beautiful encounter and message, both, Anne.
And, Stam, sometimes things work eventually, don't they?

I met someone called Jihan recently. He didn't understand why I smiled. (He wasn't that silent either).

At Bloor & Yonge subway station in rush hour: a Salvadoran busker playing Hallelujah on guitar-- an extended version, sometimes solo, sometimes sung. I was transfixed--even forgot to snap his picture ( though I did drop money in his hat...)
And I remember his name: Daniel Huezo...
