D&C 8:2-3

D&C 8:2-3
 2 Yea, behold, I will tell you in your mind and in your heart, by the Holy Ghost, which shall come upon you and which shall dwell in your heart.
 3 Now, behold, this is the spirit of revelation; behold, this is the spirit by which Moses brought the children of Israel through the Red Sea on dry ground.

Sonnet 780 D&C 8:2-3

If you can Skype a cousin in L.A.
Or phone or Facetime someone further still
If you can click and speed along its way
A message of intention or good will.

If you can play on-line what's all the rage
Or tweet your every move throughout the day
And make and keep a friendly Facebook page
Or buy and play a song the iTunes way.

If you can feel the music of a Bach
Or ponder on the life of Socrates
Or sculpt a figure from a marble block
Or taste the miracle that comes from bees.

All this without much knowing on your part
Then why can't God speak to your mind and heart?
