"I Could Not Feel So I Learned to Touch..."

"I Could Not Feel So I Learned to Touch..." is from the lyrics to the Leonard Cohen song "Hallelujah." A much misunderstood song, IMHO. It gets related to as exclusively spiritual when it is actually an intense song about a human love relationship, especially its sexual aspects. Hey, I call 'em as I see 'em -- and hear 'em. In any case, that line popped to mind as I was working on this willow pic and it stuck. There are many blockbuster lines in this song, but (again IMHO) this is the one that always hits me hardest. I sit there thinking: wow, WOW, WOW! what a line. BTW, lots of fudging lies underneath this final resulting version of the willow branch pic.
