Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack, a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in...

Love your life, poor as it is. You may perhaps have some pleasant, thrilling, glorious hours, even in a poorhouse. The setting sun is reflected from the windows of the almshouse as brightly as from the rich man’s abode; the snow melts before its doors as early in the spring. Cultivate property like a garden herb, like sage. Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends. Turn the old; return to them. Things do not change; we change. Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts…

kristi that's great! I was hoping to find a definition for a phrase I heard.

My friend wrote me a letter recently and told me he was "playing gooseberry" at his friend's flat while the friend's girlfriend was visiting... I didn't have a clue what he meant! Guess I just have a dirty mind  ::)
