Contemplating and Listening

I read somewhere that the word heart appears more than 800 times in the Old Testament and is described as the literal medium of communication between God and Man.

Hmmm.

In her book For the Time Being, Annie Dillard says, "We are Earth's organs and limbs; we are syllables God utters from his mouth." 

I love that.

What I know for sure is that I have to stay true, stay in touch, stay heart-centered, and listen from there, or all bets are off.
