Was ist ein Heiliger?

«What is a saint? A saint is someone who has achieved a remote human possibility. It is impossible to say what that possibility is. I think it has something to do with the energy of love. Contact with this energy results in the exercise of a kind of balance in the chaos of existence.

A saint does not dissolve the chaos; if he did the world would have changed long ago. I do not think that a saint dissolves the chaos even for himself, for there is something arrogant and warlike in the notion of a man setting the universe in order.

It is a kind of balance that is his glory. He rides the drifts like an escaped ski. His course is the caress of the hill. His track is a drawing of the snow in a moment of its particular arrangement with wind and rock. Something in him so loves the world that he gives himself to the laws of gravity and chance.

Far from flying with the angels, he traces with the fidelity of a seismograph needle the state of the solid bloody landscape. His house is dangerous and finite, but he is at home in the world. He can love the shape of human beings, the fine and twisted shapes of the heart.

It is good to have among us such men, such balancing monsters of love.»

Leonard Cohen in Beautiful Losers

Bei so schönen, tiefen Worten verzichte ich auf eine Übersetzung ins Deutsche und bitte alle um Verständnis, die kein Englisch verstehen.

Hier gibt es dafür viele Liedtexte von Leonhard Cohen in sehr guter Übersetzung durch Detlev Bölter.

    Im Blog zu oralab habe ich von 2013  bis 2016 fast täglich über kulturelle Phänomene, gesellschaftliche und individuelle Entwicklung(en), sowie die Fülle des ALLtags geschrieben.

    Von 2016 bis 2018 habe ich über die fast drei Jahre dauernde Pilgerschaft mit meinem Mann berichtet.
