Beautiful Fibonacci, Brian! We need to listen with our hearts and remember that He reveals Himself and His will to us in his own time. Love, Robin

The main thing is our listening. We don't so much of the time. Thanks for your comments on my poems. Keep writing. Sara

We often don't listen enough....we often don't open our hearts enough to hear. A wonderful reminder in your poem. ~ Love, Carrie

Brian, amazed and delighted to see you use an Irish word for the title of your poem "Guth" We actually still use the word guth in contemporary Irish, and the word guthán is used for the telephone. Déirdre Ó Maidín
