Hallelujah…
Merriam Webster dictionary states: “-used to express praise, and joy.” This is too inadequate an explanation. The spiritual just isn’t humanly defined – only experienced. I can’t say that I hear this word used very often because I don’t. Seems to me, neither frequent moments nor circumstances encompass the power to warrant ‘Hallelujah’. It lives reverently in reserve for those very rare experiences which are so profoundly strong that only THEN – is the word moved to present itself.
Hallelujah only manifests itself to honor the presence of omnipotent, indescribable evolution. When a mother has endured unfathomable pain and strife to finally give birth to her child, you will hear it drawn from human lips. Holding the hand of a most cherished loved one as they depart into the light simultaneously channels the emotions of an unconditional lifetime of love woven with the grief of dreaded seperation welcomes ‘hallelujah’.
The full spectrum of many dimensions baffles and yet only from the most profound lessons of love and pain or light and dark, do we experience the essence of ‘hallelujah’.
Balancing the fatal nature of flesh with our journey of the spiritual is a daily burden we all bear. When the battle comes to an end – the flesh waves the white flag…and our spirit lives on!
Below is the version of the song I prefer….Rufus Wainwright’s “HALLELUJAH”…
