On the radio this morning a lady dedicated this song to the bushfire survivors...
and all i could do was add to the sea of tears already cried...
"The poem is about courage in the face of loss (of a city, of a woman, . . . of life). It calls on nobility in the face of inevitable loss."

Did you know that Leonard Cohen donated the proceeds of his last concert to the bush fire affected?
(Ps) Big Frank's blog is worth a pEEk tOO

LEONARD Cohen has dug deep to support the victims of the devastating bushfires, following the veteran performer's recent tour that included country Victoria.
Cohen has been touring Australia with Paul Kelly.
Tour promoter Frontier Touring yesterday said $200,000 would be donated on behalf of Cohen, Kelly and Frontier to aid victims of the Victorian bushfires.
Promoter Michael Gudinski said: "Leonard has loved his time in Australia . . . and is shocked and deeply saddened by the news of the fires."
