Great perspective on life

My friend Maggie tipped me to this wonderful short film by Louie Schwartzberg on Gratitude:

Truth on that page

From the book Jesus Calling, by Sarah Young, a meditation that grabbed me in an especially powerful way this past Saturday morning.

Leonard Cohen, R.I.P.

Songwriter Leonard Cohen has gone on to his reward, it seems. He was far more than a one-hit wonder (If you haven't heard the Emmylou Harris cover of Cohen's "Ballad of a Runaway Horse," you owe it to yourself to look that up and listen to it). Thanks for sharing your talents and observations with the rest of us, Leonard. Rest in Peace.

UPDATE: Neo-Neocon has more.
