I have heard that prayer is talking to God and that meditation is listening to God, but it’s not like I hear the small still voice of Spirit when I am waiting and expecting it, it is not like a conversation, asking a question and then getting an immediate response. The answers come, perhaps, when my being is most ready to receive them, when I am receptive, quiet and calm. Most often, I believe, I hear what I am supposed to hear in conversations with others. When more than one person tells me the same thing, I can often be sure that the Universe is talking to me. I can hear God in a random smile. I can see God in the face of a stranger in pain. I can smell God in a flower, or garlic cooked with love. I can taste God in the water that I drink. I can feel God in the air that I breathe. I can bathe in God’s love and wonderment listening to a symphony. I can experience God through a child.
