There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in

-- Leonard Cohen "Anthem"

When almost all is taken
Realize you need not much

Born with no expectation, eyes shut
Loving arms surround and warmth unseen

Protect the innocent
From terrible dreams

Played like a fiddle
But out of tune
I will be here tomorrow
Picking up the ruins

You put me in a bad place
Struggling for life
But no more complaints
No hardship nor strife

I survived the darkness
I can see the light

That which is still here
Though broken and worn
Will be here tomorrow
No longer as torn

-- Brian Danchilla

And uptown downtown
A thousand miles between us
She's waiting for the night to fall
Let it fall, I'll never make it in time

Sound is the color I know, oh
Sound is what keeps me before your eyes
And sound of your breath in the cold
And oh, the sound will bring me home again

-- Beirut, East Harlem

Elijah turned two at the end of January. He is a caring, intelligent, active little guy

When you spend your working hours staring into a computer screen(s), you better have a good setup. It has taken a few years to get just right, but I believe I have a really excellent home office setup./ at my home office. One that has taken a few years to get just right:

Elijah is learning something new every week/month. Walking, baby talking, playing, sorting pots and pans for us, swimming, co-bike rides, chasing the dog amongst other things. He is a fantastic little guy and reminds us of all the good things in life : )
