A Little Leunig
When the heart
Is cut or cracked or broken
Do not clutch it
Let the wound lie open
Let the wind
From the good old sea blow in
To bathe the wound with salt
And let it sting
Let a stray dog lick it
Let a bird lean in the hole and sing
A simple song like a tiny bell
And let it ring
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Let it go. Let it out.
Let it all unravel.
Let it free and it can be
A path on which to travel.

We all have our own crooked paths to travel, don't we? Thanks for posting that.
Good words of advice. Thanks
Oh Fi..I needed that. I'm going to copy it down for the hard times. Thank you for sharing.

Some cool child-like rhyme with a solid message. Nice. Thanks.
I'm glad you all enjoyed this. I love the depth beyond his simplicity.
very wise....
Thank you for that, the first one especially. I love Leunig - I just hadn't realized he'd made it to Hong Kong!

I knew Leunig would draw you out eventually ;)
