The trouble with oral cultures and oral societies of which I am part of,
is that we are taught to speak and do not learn sufficiently to listen
because we place so much value on the spoken word..so each man comes
with his goatskin bag of wisdom and doesn’t have enough space to take
from the other’s goat skin bag of wisdom..certainly our goat-skinbags
and tobacco pouches are too small to hold God’s wisdom ….is that why we
never care to take time out to listen to God? There is always time to
listen…listening can happen any time…listening helps you grow..not
listening makes you run in the wrong direction and then make mistakes.
