Since December 23rd, Hallelujah has come repeatedly into my life in the form of music...three times....with a special friend on the eve before Christmas Eve (Jeff Buckley version), with my newfound friend this past Saturday night in the basement of Windy O'Neill's (talented young acoustic guitarist) and then on tv on Monday eve - during the Canadian Songwriters music awards.... KD Lang sang it, and whilst chatting with my new love...i was able to share this precious song

i'm struck by the symbolism of the number three - the trinity...the three deer i saw on the shoulder as i went to pick up Rebecca...the three pheasants near Wilson drive on Hwy. 26 Sat. am on my way to Collingwood

last night on the subway a Jewish man was heckled for reading his Torah...in Paris this past month a young Jewish man was brutally slain for his faith...it all makes me wonder

Each Saturday eve in Collingwood i attend mass and the last thing the Trinity lead band singer shouts is "Hallelujah!!"

bless you all and keep you safe...may the God within us guide us... no matter what your faith or lack of faith
as we say in Yoga class Namaste!! ...the God within me praises the God within you

peace people
