The song is one of the most haunting ones you can hear.
It lingers with you long after the last notes.
But then again, Leonard Cohen is known for those type musical poems.
I thought of it as I watched the crystal hummingbird swaying on the string hanging from the ceiling beam.
Bird on a Wire.
Take a listen to it and I know you will agree.
We try in our way to be free.
Yes, we have obligations. Responsibilities. Some accepted. Some thrust on us.
But through it all we try to express our true nature. Find our authentic voice.
Let that glimpse of what is still possible shine through.
Whether restricted or not. Whether bound by obligations or not. Whether a bit run down by time or not.
Look at the bird on the wire.
Keep trying to fly.
The ageless experiment.
