Morgan with Tessi as a puppy – granted she was a big puppy, but she was very young at the time this picture was taken. \u00a0Morgan loved children and animals – they always made her smile.<\/p>\n

Morgan was a gentle and sweet soul, existing as one with the earth. \u00a0Loved by all, and who’s bright light attracted everyone, and everything – including both light and darkness, people that were good, and people that were evil.<\/p>\n

I really miss listening to her play her keyboard and sing. \u00a0One of the song that she used to sing almost every day was Hallelujah. \u00a0You may think it is just a coincidence, or a sign, or a whisper from an angel, but whatever you may believe in my heart every time I walk into a room and this song is playing or just goes on I “feel” like Morgan is reminding me that she is right there with me. \u00a0I “feel” a warm surge go through my back and all the sadness and longing I have to see her again becomes less because I “feel” like she is right there with me. \u00a0So on that note I would like to share with you the song below.<\/p>\n

\u00a0https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=dMNRXQuvl64<\/a><\/p>\n

The most beautiful word: Hallelujah.<\/h1>\n

The most beautiful song, originally written and sung by none other than Buddhist, and Ladies\u2019 Man, Leonard Cohen. \u00a0This song has different meanings to a lot of people but it is a beautiful song and one that makes me feel happy inside.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd even though it all went wrong, I\u2019ll stand right here before the Lord of song, with nothing on my tongue but \u2018Hallelujah\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

It\u2019s, as I say, a desire to affirm my faith in life, not in some formal religious way but with enthusiasm, with emotion\u2026It\u2019s a rather joyous song. I wanted to write something in the tradition of the hallelujah choruses but from a different point of view\u2026It\u2019s the notion that there is no perfection\u2014that this is a broken world and we live with broken hearts and broken lives but still that is no alibi for anything.<\/p>\n

On the contrary, you have to stand up and say hallelujah under those circumstances.<\/p>\n

~ Leonard Cohen<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

And most famously, by Rufus Wainwright, a version that made it into Shrek, the blockbuster children\u2019s fave movie.<\/p>\n

I heard there was a secret chord
\nThat David played, and it pleased the Lord
\nBut you don\u2019t really care for music, do ya?
\nWell it goes like this, the fourth, the fifth
\nThe minor fall and the major lift
\nThe baffled king composing Hallelujah<\/p>\n

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah<\/p>\n

Well your faith was strong but you needed proof
\nYou saw her bathing on the roof
\nHer beauty and the moonlight overthrew ya
\nShe tied you to her kitchen chair
\nAnd she broke your throne and she cut your hair
\nAnd from your lips she drew the Hallelujah<\/p>\n

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah<\/p>\n

Maybe there\u2019s a God above
\nBut all I\u2019ve ever learned from love
\nWas how to shoot somebody who out drew ya
\nIt\u2019s not a cry that you hear at night
\nIt\u2019s not someone whos seen the light
\nIt\u2019s a cold and it\u2019s a broken Hallelujah<\/p>\n

Hallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah
\nHallelujah, Hallelujah<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
