Though I couldn’t call myself a skeptic in general, I’m always a bit dubious when someone claims to have an audible connection with the divine. I’ve found sacred guidance to be more subtle than that, revealed slowly over time through snippets of conversations and on the pages journals and during walks in the woods with my dog. Revelations are rarely sudden for me. They tend to emerge piece by piece, like clues to a puzzle, until the clarity eventually comes.
Imagine my surprise and subsequent doubt when I heard a voice say recently, “You are already doing the work you want to do.”
I wasn’t praying or meditating at the time–honestly I rarely do either of those. I wasn’t sitting in a sanctuary or even listening to sacred music. No, I was turning my car into the gas station to fill up my tank when I heard the voice speak.
