LEONARD COHEN Forever . Last picture I took . September 2016 . Los Angeles . Home .
You have always been a bon vivant. What are your pleasures today [Oct 2016]?
Morning coffee on the balcony
of this old duplex,
the cat at my feet,
and a couple of biscuits.
Notebook near by.
No one coming over.
Leonard Cohen
Leonard’s quotation is from Le Dernier Empereur by J.D. Beauvallet and Pierre Siankowski. (Les Inrocks: Oct 19, 2016. [from original interview transcript in English sent to me by Leonard Cohen]. Instagram photo by Dominique Issermann.

Ah the simple pleasures, indeed!
I am 81 and competing with my man. I am not as famous as the man , at least not with the public. I’m just famous with me
I have done a lot and seen a lot and heard a lot and felt a lot and loved a lot, and I would volunteer to do it all over again. I might make a few changes.
I don’t want to leave on the night train just yet. I have more to see , more to do if my body will only let me. I can’t be greedy with life, I must make room for the next one
Beautiful thoughts and words, dear Sir!
YES!!
It’s good to get a feeling that he seemed to be happy and content and ‘ever reflective ‘ before he sadly left us.
