Trinity Bells
This Spring I have really learned to appreciate the tower outside of Trinity Lutheran Church on 39th and Columbia. It and the Clark College Fountain Pen Tower are by far my favorite free standing structures in America's Vancouver, as our mayor like to call it.
I listened to a lot of Leonard Cohen on my walks this past Spring. At least a couple of times Anthem would come on the random generator as I neared Trinity Tower as I call it.
Ring the Bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in Everything
That's how the light gets in.
That's how the light gets in.
This chorus means a lot to me these days. I've had tough couple of seasons as far as passages are concerned. Let me pause for the peace of mentors who have influenced my point of view about many things: William Bland, Philip Robertson, Gordon Beck, and Alice Philips. Thank you for enriching my life.
Ring the Bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in Everything
That's how the light gets in.
That's how the light gets in.
