a reason to read 

A Reason to Explain –

A need to understand what is written.  From Augustine:

What then, Brothers, shall we keep silence? 

Why then read it if only to keep silence about it? 

Or 

why hear it if it is not to be explained? 

But also, 

why explain it if it is not to be understood?”

a time to show up 

A Minimum Requirement 

A time to listen if you have an ear.  What can you do?   Just show up and listen.  Let the Spirit move you.  We all have a job to do.  Find a quiet place and listen.  There is a reason, a purpose, and a meaning.  It is knowable.  It will be revealed to you.  You have to believe that and hope for understanding.  The wise shall understand.
