"John of the Cross once said that the language of God is the experience God writes into our lives. That is a good incarnational comment. God does not speak to us through seances, and the most important things that God wants to say to us are not given in extraordinary mystical visions. The God of the incarnation has real flesh on earth and speaks to us in the bread and butter of our lives, through things that have skin - historical circumstance, our families, our neighbors, our churches, and that borderline-psychotic friend who painfully reminds us that we are not God. When we look for God's guidance these voices on earth must complement the voice from heaven."
