How did he hear

After Genesis 12:1-3 and Revelation 7:9-10

How did he hear the voice,

this shepherd, with flocks,

this leader, with family?

A dream, on the wind,

a whisper, a shout?

The words: go; you will be 

great, a great nation;

you will be a great blessing;

all families will be blessed

through you.

And what did he do,

how did he respond,

to this shout, this whisper,

this dream, this wind?

He went.
