with the quiet people,<br />

the still, small voice Divine.</p>
<hr /><h2>Comments</h2><ul><li><a href="http://nonbreakingspace.com/poetry/thoughts-on-a-quaker-meeting/#comment-85">February 16, 2008</a>, <a href='http://www.extemporaneous.wordpress.com' rel='external nofollow' class='url'>Heather</a> writes: 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 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.</li><li><a href="http://nonbreakingspace.com/poetry/thoughts-on-a-quaker-meeting/#comment-102">February 25, 2008</a>, Faylei writes: Lovely...</li><li><a href="http://nonbreakingspace.com/poetry/thoughts-on-a-quaker-meeting/#comment-115">March 3, 2008</a>, <a href='http://liquidquick.wordpress.com' rel='external nofollow' class='url'>liquidquick</a> writes: smartass reply:
