What if Jesus is a sound?
The sparrow’s morning call
The murmur of quiet streams
The rhythmic slap of the tide
The violent howl of wind
The weary groans of the earth
The crackle of a blazing flame
The unexpected roar of thunder
The symphony of longed-for rain
The newborn’s startled cry
The belly laugh of old friends
The clink of dishes in the sink
The hum of steady morning traffic
The melody that lingers
The ping of awaited news
The click of a closing door
The calm of a placid night
The silence of unspoken truth
The holy hush of expectancy
The muted ache of longing
The released wail of lament
The echo of wordless sighs
The pouring out of praise
The voice of the forgotten
The exhale of a long-held breath
The whisper of an invitation,
‘Come, listen to me’.
