For hiders with a contemplative bent, a mountain top with full view of other mountains and valleys in the range, with the sky closer enough to touch, and the silence this ideal place provides, or even the hike up through the woods with only the birds or a rushing stream to break the silence, these are a welcome relief to the cacophony of the daily journey at home or at work. It is in this natural silence that God seems unmistakably present and his voice, more audible. But these ideal locations are accessible only a few times in a year, or in a lifetime. How do we hear God's voice amidst the noise of everyday life? Admittedly, it is not easy, but it is there amid the noise as much as it is in the quiet of the forest or mountaintop. We need simply to quiet our outer ears and open our inner ears to listen well. It's amazing how God can be heard even within the noise.
