Listen to old stones for information about survival. What a seashell has to say will surprise you. So, too, will words written on the wind. Listening to silence is hardest of all. You want to fill it up with conversation ... distractions ... noise. Resist the impulse. In silence, you can dream great dreams. You can discover your own music. Listening means hearing the voice within you. It never fails to tell you the truth, even if you don't want to hear it.
There is an ancient tradition that when Divine Revelation comes into the world, only one part is given as prophetic writings.The words are only a part of the message.The other part is placed within nature, the wisdoms inherent in the Creation.Only when we understand those hidden wisdoms will we be able to read between the prophetic lines and fully understand the message.
