Looks like our bench is attracting some color.

Thanks Marie, for the above recent photo. This line enters my head -

"My priests they will put flowers there"
~ Priests

What a very beautiful and peaceful photo ... thanks to the photographer and Marie.

I love it too. Thank you so much for sharing.

ps: thank you also for the "Priests" reference....
one of my favourite songs by Judy Collins, written but never recorded by Leonard Cohen :

Hi Brucester,
I thought you might be interested in this comment
https://www.leonardcohenforum.com/viewt ... ts#p263109
and the whole thread too.

Maybe LC's recording is still lurking somewhere hidden in his other effects just waiting to see the light

Thanks a million, B4real, lots of fantastic reading !!! WOW !!!

Yes, I have always been interested in "Priests"....
=> especially since it's been such a long time I confessed to anything !!! (forgive my Canadian humour)

ps: If I find out about an LC version of this song, I will definitely post it here.
It is quite possible Judy Collins might have a copy of Leonard's tape hiding somewhere.

I wrote to Judy after her son Clark's suicide (Jan/1992), and we've kept in touch for about a month or so.
She loved my letters and even sent me one of her Concert Souvenir program books (signed).
Trouble is, it seems like a hundred years ago.

Judy's song to her son, Clark (1959-1992) :

Wings of angels
Tears of saints
Prayers and promises won't bring you back
Come to me in dreams again ~~ Judy Collins ~~
