I’m reading the book, “I’m Your Man”—it’s the new biography
of poet/songwriter Leonard Cohen. I’ve loved his writing forever, and his music
of course, and I am coming to love his contradictions: a ladies man who is a
monk, a fabulous performer who hates to perform and a homely man who is
supremely attractive.
He said this about marriage:
Marriage is the
hardest spiritual practice in the world. Anybody can sit on Mount Baldy for
hours on end, weeks, months. But it’s nothing compared to marriage. If you’re really
there, really present, for marriage it’s self-reflection 24/7. Who can take
that?
