thoughts on a Quaker meeting



in the quiet place,
with the quiet people,
we sit, we listen,

hoping to recognize,
hoping to receive
the still, small voice Divine.

    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.

    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.

    they don’t invite me
    after loudly exclaiming
    ‘lets belch for jesus!’

    not-smartass reply:

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