Only Listen

We fill constantly God's ears with words,
but don't give him a chance to speak.

Be still.

We need God more than God needs us--
be still, and listen to the blessings
all around you.

Do not shout at some distant being--
God is all around you-- you must only recognize it.
Breathe him in.

Your ramblings mean nothing to the divine--
he can read your heart.
Why is it that you ramble?
For God?
For others?

Or for you?

As Elijah knows,
God is not in the fire,
or the earthquake,

but in the whisper.

Sew up your lips--
only listen.
