Literary Trail and Feeling Loved

It's always a delight when you start looking for something, and it leads you on a trail of finding things that were not what you were looking for.  I was looking for a Leonard Cohen book.  I remember seeing it on my shelf.  Now was the time to read it.  I could not find it on any bookshelves.  I checked my nightstand, then the drawer.  Lying right on top was a Leonard Cohen verse I had written on a slip of paper and stuck in my drawer.

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 led to my finding a poem my son wrote as a mother's day gift nestled next to the Cohen verse.  I delighted in reading it again - the unexpected literary gifts of the day.
