Hearing God

"Let me hear of your steadfast love in the morning, 
for in you I put my trust. 
Teach me the way I should go, 
for to you I lift up my soul."   
 
Psalm 143:8   
   
The first two words of the prologue to the Rule of St. Benedict are "listen carefully." This morning as I listen to the birds, I hear their call to awaken to this day. I hear God in the language beyond language that is ever present in both song and silence, tears and laughter, in all of life.  Let us learn to listen; love is being sung. It may be the only song God knows.
