Earth's crammed with Heaven and every common bush afire with God
But only those who see take off their shoes
The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries

Christmas Food Court Flash Mob, Hallelujah Chorus - Must See!



http://www.AlphabetPhotography.com/ -

This surprising intrusion of the transcendent Hallelujah Chorus into a mall food court brought tears to my eyes the first time I watched it. A choir of voices, like the voices of angels, showed up as shoppers and janitors, in order to bring the higher into the lower. The divine invaded the loud, smelly, chaos of ordinary life. That is what Christmas is after all. Christ, the divine became one of us and invaded the smelly reality of the human world. Hallelujah!
