Pico Iyer on Leonard Cohen's Years as a Buddhist Monk 

Eloquent presentation on how 5 years of dedicated meditation gave Leonard Cohen a tremendous energy, movement, intimacy and depth.

"To laugh often and much; to win the respect of intelligent people and the affection of children; to earn the appreciation of honest critics and endure the betrayal of false friends; to appreciate beauty, to find the best in others; to leave the world a bit better, whether by a healthy child, a garden, or a redeemed social condition; to know even one life has breathed easier because you have lived. This is to have succeeded." -Ralph Waldo Emerson 🖖🌎❤️

I love that conclusion, His philosophy of success. Great story and perspective.

So true!
