Urgent Request and Hallelujah!

Just received a message from our sweet Katie over at This Whole Thing...If you read her post today, she went to visit with her parents for a few days.  

Her dad is in a care home and after her mom left to go home and rest a bit this afternoon, she was in a car accident and has been taken to ICU.  For those of you outside the US, ICU is Intensive Care Unit for the most critically ill/injured patients. 

Katie found out when the police contacted her as she left the care home to go take her to dinner. 

Please send prayers, healing energy, positive thoughts, blessings, whatever you can for Katie's mom. 

Will keep you updated as I receive more information.

********************************************

This is my post that was scheduled for tonight...hope it brings Katie and her family a bit of comfort.


Han posted a song by Leonard Cohen a few days ago.  One of my favorite Cohen songs is "Hallelujah".   Around the same time, the following video by Celtic Thunder's Neil Byrne, Keith Harkin and Ryan Kelly
was posted on Facebook.





If you can't view the video, here is the YouTube link:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0mcxhn5yXE




Here is one of my favorite versions sung by kd lang in 2006 at the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame induction of Leonard Cohen.  If you watch all the way to the end, you will see Cohen's appreciation of how she performed the song.

This video is of a 9 year old girl dancing to a version of "Hallelujah"...her performance is breathtaking!

    I adore the hallelujah song. I use the version by Brandi Carlile for the adagio in my dance class.
