EVE OF DESTRUCTION 20/12/2012





20/12/2012. The dreadful has already happened. It is always the eve of destruction. Being is always seduced by non-being. Pull the curtains on the floor of the glass bottom boat. Peer into the deep blue of the deep blue. The dreadful has already happened. We are living late in the era of Leonard Cohen, our great prophet... our Rabbi... our teacher. “There is a crack in everything... that’s how the light gets in”. I heard Leonard singing the other night. He knows he is already dead. He sings from a place beyond this temporal world... beyond the eve of destruction. The dreadful has already happened. If you live your life like you are already beyond the eve of destruction... like you are already dead, the living is easy. Remember the Phoenix. Remember the crucifixion. The dreadful has already happened. The bird of paradise rises from the ashes.
