Why can’t I hear?

I’ve been trying to “learn” to meditate for about 3 years now.  

As a coach, many clients have told me that they talk to god all the time, but never get an answer.  My question to them was: Do you shut up long enough to listen?

I know that god speaks in the silence.  In the smile of a stranger or in the beauty of a snowflake or in the simplicity of children playing.  Some days..I hear.  But most days, I feel left out.

Why doesn’t god speak to me?

Why won’t my mind shut up long enough to pay attention?

Am I afraid of what I’ll hear?

Perhaps I’m making it too hard.  We’ve established that I have a tendency toward that.

What if God is speaking to me thru my writing?  Perhaps thru the wonderful people who stop by my blog-regardless of whether the leave a comment or not. 

What if god is speaking to me in the questions I ask rather than the answers I seek?

How might god be speaking to you?

I’m listening..

AND asking questions.
