A Listening Sanctuary
In this cacophonous world perhaps it is necessary to cultivate a sense of heart listening, creating a space for re-sensitizing the connection between our ears and heart. The planet is filled with such places. One doesn’t have to travel far or at all to see beauty that stills the heart and awakens wonderment. Be still and know…YOU are all that; the cacophony, the stillness, the beauty, the heart that listens!
God’s Software
Let’s download the upgrade.
This binary code universe could use some jazzing up.
He rested on the seventh day, so the story goes.
Still he sleeps.
What will it take to wake him up to bring about the eighth day?
–A barrage of prayer
–Another atomic blast
–A single original thought?
Perhaps if we stop the cacophony of his creation for just one minute,
Silence would wake him.
But can we live without
–Birdsong,
–Baby laughter, or
–Brooks babbling
For even one minute?
No, the eighth day won’t come until our hard drive
Is made compatible with God’s software.
