This is such a lesson on being a young man, a human, having doubts, questions on the most important issues on existence. I find myself listening to this on a regular basis. What a treasure.
I find both Poet Cohen and Dr Noam Chomsky to be the modern day 'John the Baptist', performing baptism with water in their respective roles. We definitely have baptism with the Holy Spirit to look forward to. Whether the Holy Spirit will be like fire, only the Holy Spirit knows.
Thank you for posting these Leonard Cohen articles. Next to my husband he IS MY MAN. I was given a book of his poetry before he was "the American folk singer, Zen monk) - you have through his words pointed out he was neither American or a Buddhist only. Are you a fan of his writings and music? Have you read Beautiful Losers? Do you enjoy Mordecai Richler. I re-read Mordecai's books...I am not Jewish but have always enjoyed Jewish humour, maybe in another life? Like Leonard I study Buddhism, in my case Tibetan. Namaste, Z. )His sense of humour- so many even fans of his, miss it. One look in those eyes tells you their still exists a mischievous little boy...so damned articulate and clever!)
@@sergiosatelite467 Yeah, I've since listened to his interviews. He says a few times how he will forever be Jewish, it's where he comes from. It's "in his DNA"...
He said he became Buddhist only to study with his friend, that if his friend had been into physics, he would have gone that direction. His whole last two albums destroy any idea that he believed in the divinity of Buddhism.
Wow I can't believe my beautiful wife is a Jewish girl... hmmm... I love you dear wife... my most loving wife... that we have chatting for many years... hmmm... are you blonde and beautiful ...? Hmmm i can't wait to meet you. .. hmmm you don't need to be blonde you know...😊
