Leonard Cohen wrote: “Ring the bells that still can ring. Forget your perfect offering. There is a crack in everything. That’s how the light gets in.” Each of us has “cracks,” parts of us that we may perceive as faults, mistakes or weaknesses. Accepting our uniqueness and humanity, with all of our flaws, allows us to open the cracks and grow in compassion and love.
