Sweet Nothings

Sweet nothings

When we listen for the voice of God

we don't usually hear big revelations

or great pronouncements.

We hear God's patter,

divine murmurings

as God goes about the house—

like,

“Well, look at that,”

or “I see you.”

A mother murmuring to her infant,

small talk,

terms of endearment,

sweet nothings.

Listen for that.
