The Maker talks and not just in Captives of the Fern Queen. He talks to us too and I don’t mean a nice loving feeling. He really talks–it’s just that we don’t usually listen. I know I don’t. But the times I have heard him speak to me, Sally Byrd, are the most special and wonderful moments of my life. It’s often been during a crisis, but occasionally, I have heard him in daily life. I especially love it when he jokes with me. I like to joke and do a lot of it, so it’s part of my language–he’ll speak to you in your language. He knows it and wants to talk to you. Listen for him. Be patient with yourself and learn to listen.
