they don't invite me

'lets belch for jesus!'

i hear nothing but
soft breathing, yet see god in
one another's eyes

Lovely...

I've been thinking along these lines a lot lately. I've been fascinated by the ways in which a person's belief system affects his (or her) way of seeing the world in general, and vice versa. I've noticed a lot of situations where there's stark contrast between the two.

That said, I agree that God almost always speaks to us in subtle tones. At least that's how He speaks to me.

Too often I think people expect the voice of God (or the voice Divine) to be big and booming. Usually, when God speaks to me, he whispers in my ear, a still, small voice that must be discerned and interpreted. Quiet is absolutely essential to the process.

Lovely, lovely verses.
