Stone walls?

I found this poem in a poetry book. I like it.

A Time To Talk

by Robert Frost

When a friend calls to me from the road

And slows his horse to a meaning walk,

I don't stand still and look around

On the hills I haven't hoed,

And shout from where I am, "What is it?"

No, not as there is a time to talk.

I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,

Blade-end up and five feet tall,

And plod: I go up to the stone wall

For a friendly visit.

Stone walls don't keep people from talking. Just need to make sure you approach them.

Have a great Lord-filled day.

David

As I took my first long walk up the South Hill today, these are three pics I took which made me look twice.

I see ... Well, I won't tell you what I see in them just yet.

My question is : What do you see?

Have a great Lord-filled day.

Simple answer to a question

So I am up late. What would I like to say?

One simple truth.

Remember Jesus!

Have a great Lord-filled day.

Open the door. Go in and pray. Enjoy the silence!

It has been a long time since I have posted on this blog. And to be absolutely honest, I am not sure what I am going to post now.

I just finished reading the book "The Chosen" by Chaim Potok. An absolutely fascinating book. I would encourage everyone to read it.

I'll just share a passage from it to begin.

For a long moment, he said nothing. His eyes seemed glazed, turned inward. Then his face slowly relaxed. He smiled faintly. "There's more truth to that than you realize," he murmured. "You can listen to silence, Reuven. I've begun to realize that you can listen to silence and learn from it. It has a quality and a dimension all its own. It talks to me sometimes. I feel myself alive in it. It talks. And I can hear it."

...

"You have to want to listen, and then you can hear it. It has a strange, beautiful texture. It doesn't always talk. Sometimes - sometimes it cries, and you can hear the pain of the world in it. It hurts to listen to it then. But you have to."

Listening to silence. Not to music. Not to teachings. Not to laughter. Not to.... Only listening to silence.

Don't we do that at times when we pray to the Lord of lords and King of kings? When we are deep in prayer, aren't we wanting to hear silence at times so that then we can hear the voice of our Saviour and Lord?

That old saying, "silence is golden" might just hold a fair bit of truth.

Have a great Lord-filled day everyone.
