Leonard Cohen and the Science of Words
Leonard Cohen and the Science of Words
Words in writing.
Speak the words with the exact precision with which you would check out a laundry list. Do not become emotional about the lace blouse. Do not get a hard-on when you say panties. Do not get all shivery just because of the towel. The sheets should not provoke a dreamy expression about the eyes. There is no need to weep into the handkerchief. The socks are not there to remind you of strange and distant voyages. It is just your laundry. It is just your clothes. Don’t peep through them. Just wear them.

Zara Altair I LOVE these words of wisdom, And the article of Maria Popova as always - a treasure trove. I long for moments of stillness and for the forgotten joy of just peeling the potatoes when it comes to writing.
