Creation speaks.
In the groans of an earthquake
Or the howls of a hurricane.
The rumble of a landslide
Or the crackle and roar of a wildfire.
Do we listen?
Can we understand?

Creation speaks.
In the raucous caw of the crow
Or the placid moo of a cow.
Th sonorous purr of a cat
Or the ticklish buzz of a bee.
Do we listen?
Can we understand?

Creation speaks.
In multiple languages
In multiple paces
  – the slow, steady voice of the rock
  – the calm, oxygen-giving voice of the tree
  – the hum from the rapid-fire movement
            of hummingbird wings.

We need to listen.
We need to understand.
