Listen to the Voice of Creation

This is something we left behind when we migrated to cities.  On a farm, you get to hear sounds that only occur at the break of dawn, you can see every star in the cosmos, and you can hear your neighbor call for help miles away.

In cities we’re accustomed to tuning-out the cacophony of sounds and are never aware of when winds shift or danger is near.  We prefer our own voices to those of others and watch ourselves endlessly on social media.  Once or twice a year we take a “vacation” from all this noise so that we can listen, but we always take a cell phone…just in case.

When hunting or hiking (or in battle), you become aware of everything around you but its adrenaline fueled and isn’t listening to hear but to interpret for our own ends…and we wouldn’t think of taking the sandals off our feet.

As we close out this year’s Season of Creation, we’re reminded to Listen to the voice of Creation as participants and not observers.
