An article I wish I had written

Sometimes I read something and I wish I had written it - it is insightful and reads the way I wish I could be read... It doesn't happen all the time, in fact, not very often...


This article by Cassie Werber on Leonard Cohen's anthem is one of those article:

and this line in particular:
"In dark times, poetry and music often become more important to us, providing the kind of transcendence we need to interpret painful events in a wider context."
