    Fabulous tribute Marit, he was one of the greats and will certainly be missed by me.
    Such a talented poet. You have done him proud with your artwork my friend.
    Take care

    I thought of you when I saw this sad news this morning because you are the one who acquainted me with Leonard Cohen’s Book of Longings that is now at my bed-side. The New Yorker had a beautiful article about him on October 17.

    Wow. I didn’t know he died today. How sad is that. But I also discovered this particular blog of yours today, which is at least a cheery. Hugs-Erika

    Dear Marit, have you seen this rendition of Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah sung by Pentatonix? It is so beautiful and such a tribute to our hero. I think you will love it if you haven’t already seen it. XOXO
