"You could say we are all broken, but then again, you could say we are all part of a collective hallelujah, and that might be closer to the truth." Cold Spring Hallelujah explores the experience of being human in a world that often seems broken. Woven together by threads of healing, coming to terms with limitation, and deep reflection on what truly matters, author Heidi Barr issues an invitation to notice the fractured radiance that has the potential to be uncovered in each human life-and to claim the story that finds a foundation in love, of both self and neighbor. Often in dialogue with the reader, she writes, "Claiming your story takes patience and persistence. It takes the sort of self compassion that might, one day, paint the sky with a splendor that can only be found by falling into the fractured radiance that defines what it means to be alive on planet earth. Be brave enough to look through a different lens if you need to, and explore an unfamiliar path. Let the stumbles and the joys and everything in between lead you toward hallelujah. I'll meet you there." Cold Spring Hallelujah is a book to keep close on the path into healing.
