Re: RIP jack lazariuk
i went to the old newsgroup today & saw a message indicating that come frebruary 22, 2024 there will be no more posting but that an archive will remain- the archive of historical data. it feels more than a little fitting that the old newsgroup dies with jack. at least to me, who grew up there. x...

Re: Apathy of Late
12 years ago or so i made a berry pie for a potluck. it was too full, the top crust was a lattice but the crossing strips were varying widths & thicknesses. i crimped the edges but like an amateur. i don't think the lattice really stuck to the edges. some stranger took an enormous piece of it &a...

Nick Cave answers fan letters in what he calls The Red Hand Files. I've attached the text of this morning's very fitting letter. I couldn't agree more. https://www.theredhandfiles.com/do-you-like-your-tattoo/ ISSUE #214 / NOVEMBER 2022 How do you feel when you stand before the mirror? Do you like yo...

Re: Tattoo with LC Lyrics...
i have two tattoos of leonard's lyrics- one from anthem down my arm & one from hallelujah on my back. the arm was done right around the time i turned thirty & in over a decade it's only become a little less fine, but the hallelujah tattoo is more or less a train wreck by anyone's standards b...

Re: Leonard Has Passed Away
not nitpicking at all. please forgive my error. it's always a surprise when how i'm doing is reflected back to me. 6 years makes so much more sense! believable even.

Re: Leonard Has Passed Away
i didn't realize today was the anniversary of leonard's death until i came to browse the forum. my husband is going to the store now for groceries & i've asked him to pick up a yarzheit candle. the day is mostly over but i won't light the thing anyhow- my father-in-law is in the next room on hos...

Re: Meaning of Drawing below "Order of Unified Hearts"
I so appreciate the reference, Lisa. Coming across this thread I felt like I'd never had words for the symbol's meaning, that whatever meaning it had held for me was wordless, intuitive, & when I tried to find the words I could only think of Leonard's heart entwined with... God? a woman? My thou...

I wish Leonard were alive to see this.
This was the Saturday Profile in The NYT this past week. It's likely only available to subscribers, but here is the text. The last paragraphs remind me so much of Leonard. The idea that what is broken won't be repaired feels like a prayer, feels like being let off the hook. My brain protests the ide...

Re: Leonard, Marianne, and Me: Magical Summers on Hydra (new book)
What unexpected memory. Reading this was the first time I thought of Alexis Bolens in many years. I met him when I was 17 briefly visiting Hydra. I was looking for Leonard's house & he pointed toward a place behind a red church. If my memory serves, we spoke about his recent bereavement. Was it ...

Re: How Do We Come to Terms with Leonard Cohen’s Legacy in the #Metoo Era?
Thank you for posting this. I've loved Leonard such a long time, but over the last few years the connection has waned. It happened in part when he died, but something shifted more when I married & then became a mom. At some point during my pregnancy or shortly after my son was born, I got Beauti...
