Light Enters

A memory of a familiar line

There is a crack, a crack in everything That's how the light gets in. - Leonard Cohen

— Mark Ainslie (@mark_ainslie) July 9, 2014

and a startling discovery of a much older line at Tumblr

Don’t turn your head.
Keep looking
at the bandaged place.
That’s where
the Light enters you.

- Rumi
