Hank Willaims Snr,Closer To The Grave

[gnosticbeemer]

I am reminded of what Leonard Cohen sang in the "Tower of Song" about Hank Williams, JR. "a hundred floors above me in the tower of song."

I suppose that Senior is 200 floors above Cohen and 300 floors above me in this restatement of the Jack in the Bean Stalk myth. Another statement of the myth being "John Barleycorn Must Die" and subsequently prove his strength.

Williams Sr has transformed the suffering of an attachment into positive karma. Negative energy becomes positive energy.
