A voice said,
“This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!”
—Luke 9.35
The command is not to believe,
or even to remember,
but to listen.
In stillness,
apart from the screaming news,
listen.
Let your fears and opinions
sit quietly in the corner
and talk amongst themselves;
let them go; ignore them.
In silence, listen
even if only to the sound
of your own breathing, listen
for the silence
that is God,
the cloud
that is unknowing,
the presence
you can trust without feeling.
And if nothing comes to you,
keep the silence.
Honor the cloud.
Keep listening.
