"...to live without listening at all is to live deaf to the fulness of the music. Sometimes we avoid listening for fear of what we may hear, sometimes for fear that we may hear nothing at all but the empty rattle of our own feet on the pavement. But be not affeared..."for lo, I am with you always, even unto the end of the world." He says he is with us on our journeys. He says he has been with us since each of our journeys began. Listen for him. Listen to the sweet and bitter airs of your present and your past for the sound of him."
from The Sacred Journey by Frederich Buchner
A new journey for me begins today. I am jumping on a flight to New Zealand soon. To spend the next three months listening to my heavenly Father.
