Listening

Iona Abbey window Christine Sine

Sometimes in a lowly cell
In the presence of my God
I stand and listen.

In the silence of my heart
I can hear his will
When I listen
Despairing people flock to me
They expect that I can see the answers
They ask my advice,
They say I am wise
I answer that nothing can deceive me
If I stand alone and silently listen

For I am but a servant
Who is guided by his king
When I listen
Sometimes in a lowly cell
In the presence of my God
I stand and listen

This Celtic poem attributed to Columba comes from Christine Sine via Listening Point.
