Common noises are not always what they appear to be. They can also be the eloquence of God. It is all in the richness of listening. If we develop our deeper metaphysical ears, we may hear the music of divinity in uncommon places. ~Sue Monk Kidd in Firstlight
As I sat in my den with the television droning in the background, I read about an autistic child who could not speak. She communicated within her silent world by writing on her computer screen. When a network news correspondent came to interview her and asked her what it was like to live with such silence, she wrote, “I hear God’s finest whispers.” ~Sue Monk Kidd in Firstlight
Give yourself some white space this weekend
to listen for God’s finest whispers,
to hear the music of divinity.
Welcome to Still Saturday where we pause after a busy week, move in quiet pilgrimage, maybe linger a while in some still place, and soak in the beauty of images and words. We’d love for you to join us. Get the details above, grab your favorite button, and link up below. We all love to hear if something especially speaks to your heart, but please don’t feel pressured to comment. Simply take some time to gaze long and drink deep.
Thank you. I must always count on His whispers and small nudgings towards directions to take, people to help or follow. [Actually, sometimes it ain’t small whispers… it’s a “gentle” holler, b/c I’m too sidetracked. Bet you could’ve guessed that already even though you’ve never seen me in person.]
Love the way you did this post Sandy. Such creativity. I can’t wait for the white space, its my favorite.
Wondering how you did this … thankful for the thoughts you shared.
“Be still and know . . .”
Amen to the silence.
Blessings, Sandy!
Listening…
White space is important in all sorts of graphics but I hadn’t thought of it in conjunction with listening, with hearing “the music of divinity,” so thanks for this.
This act of listening, of being still, has been on my heart all week. Thank you for this Sandy.
LOVE that quote, Sandra. It fits perfectly with a post I’ve scheduled for Monday.{wondering if I need to borrow it} Finally got my week{ending} post up. Better late than never. Hope your weekend is delightful, sweet friend.
What a beautiful and inspiring post! May we all hear God’s finest whispers.
God bless,
Laurie
ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, breathing in your colours…
Oh, my! What a precious thought…God’s finest whispers! Awesome! Thanks, sweetie!
So grateful for each one of you–your encouragement, your images and words that help me slide into the quiet and turn my eyes toward the One who stills my heart.
And Patricia, borrow away.
I love this! I want to listen for God’s finest whispers! Thank you for sharing this lovely piece.
The comment where the girl said she could hear God’s finest whispers, took my breath away. Simply beautiful!
Blessings~
