Soundtrack of my life: Thoughts in my eighth decade

Leonard Cohen on a rainy afternoon…watching the smoke of my cigar rise lazily in the lowering sky and listening to the words of a wise and worldly man:

I’m slowing down the tune.

I never liked it fast.

You want to get there soon,

I want to get there last.

It’s not because I’m old.

It’s not the life I led.

I always liked it slow,

That’s what my momma said.
