“It is no surprise that the BIble uses hearing, not seeing, as the predominant image for the way human beings know God. We can’t walk around God and take God in like a cathedral or an artichoke. We can only listen to time for the sound of God – to the good times and bad times of our own lives for the words which out of God’s innermost secrets God is addressing to, of all people, us.” (adapted from “Whistling in the Dark by Frederick Buechner)
