“The collision of hail or rain with hard surfaces, or the song of cicadas in a summer field. These sonic events are made out of thousands of isolated sounds; this multitude of sounds, seen as totality, is a new sonic event.” – Iannis Xenakis
I love sitting on the porch swing in my backyard. There I can listen to the water hitting the rocks of the waterfall in my backyard pond. I hear the song of birds and the buzz of various insects surrounding me. The drone of the occasional jet engines passing overhead. They bring about a sense of peace and quiet to my life.
God also speaks through various sounds to our souls. The quiet whisper of the divine voice is carried on the wind, the tinkling of chimes, or the dripping rain, as well as the voices of others. God speaks to our hearts as well as our souls bringing about true peace and contentment.
Hopefully, before summertime is gone, you too will hear God speaking to you in your quiet times. Take the time to simply listen. God will bring you peace.
