Huff Post: by Rabbi Danya Ruttenberg.
It may not be easy or convenient, but revelation is a life-or-death proposition. Ultimately, allowing ourselves to hear God’s voice — aligning our will with God’s will — may be the only thing that can ultimately save us. We need only to be brave enough to stop and hear the voice that is calling to us, from every direction.
And it feels familiar, as well. So many of us these days are in constant motion, hurtling down the street with smartphone in hand, running from work to our social lives or home lives and errands and chores and then going to bed and doing the same thing all over again. We’re in perpetual motion, running from north to east to south and back again, chasing a truth of some sort and not finding it — and, perhaps, wondering why we’re not hearing God’s voice more often than we do.
