We ask, and pray, and think, and wait. We look for signs and answers but sometimes we forget to change our perception, look in a different way.
 
Like a whisper, or a breeze, Creator speaks to us, the answers come but not in the way we expect.
 
Sometimes it is in a song on the radio, or the words of a stranger, or the sun breaking through the clouds; even a vision, a creature, an insect.
 
Trust that the answer always comes. 
But are we listening, present with all of our senses?
 
Not hearing the answer because it is clouded by our expectation.
 
Not willing to be open to other possibilities. Because it is not what we want.
 
Listen for the answers in the nuance of your day, be present to other forms of communication from the Universe.
 
Here is the thought for the day:
 
The child whispered, "God, speak to me"
And a meadow lark sang.
The child did not hear.

So the child yelled, "God, speak to me!"
And the thunder rolled across the sky
But the child did not listen.

The child looked around and said,
"God let me see you" and a star shone brightly
But the child did not notice

And the child shouted,
"God show me a miracle!"
And a life was born but the child did not know.

So the child cried out in despair,
"Touch me God, and let me know you are here!"
Whereupon God reached down
And touched the child.
But the child brushed the  butterfly away
And walked away unknowingly.
