From Chaos to Opportunity and Reflections by Leonard Cohen

Chaos is a time of upheaval and confusion… not exactly a fun state of mind for the individual or society.  The reality of the Buddha’s profound teaching on impermanence is brought clearly into view when the ground we stand on is no longer stable.   Yet this is also a time which offers a unique opportunity to mindfully adjust how we think, act and speak due to our suddenly shifted reality.  Leonard Cohen, Canadian poet and song-writer who died November 7, 2016, delved into the chaos of his own life as well as society, through his unique artistic expression. His genius was ultimately embracing it all.  Here we’ll discuss chaos and  opportunity along with some reflections by Leonard Cohen.
