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

“These white slashes. I call them white slashes, my light, it’s my light that I’m prepared to share with people. What they get from it? I just hope they walk away say I feel good.”
