Voice
From everywhere.
The sun exploded across the horizon as the chilly dawn spreads across the field. Even here inside my winter room, readying my walk, the rose light speaks to me.
While out amongst the bare trees, the wind speaks to me.
As I encounter one neighbor, and another, they speak to me.
Your voice is all around, Lord, speaking to me. I asked for signs and direction, and if I but listen I will hear it.
❖
If every voice is yours, Lord, then so too must mine be. When I speak to my loved ones, my neighbors, my stock, I speak your words.
Let me hear you and speak you, Lord.
– from the mountain
Consider:
Can I better hear your voice?
