  2. I agree,Gilly.What is deep in our minds comes from many sources.And we may then hear that
    “still,small voice” if we have the time and patience.Dreams also can bring wisdom in another language.I have experienced that.More direct experience of God sometimes comes when we are in extremity,if we remain open.And bringing up children too os a source.
