People may be speaking the same language but their vernacular has an impact on the translation. Of course, there is the accepted understanding of vernacular that is cultural, geographic, or familial. God encourages us to get to know the vernacular of our language with ourselves. Aside from specific words, there is a vernacular to our physical, emotional, mental, energetic, and spiritual elements which make up the whole of who we are. If we do not know the vernacular of each of these systems how can we begin to understand how we can operate more fully. The reality is sometimes one or more of these elements have a louder voice and demand more of our attention. Yet all are always present. By knowing the vernacular of our mind we can help it to understand the vernacular of our heart. If we take the time to embody the vernacular of our heart we can utilize it to communicate with our body and mind. The vernacular of our wholeness is the language of what it means for each of us to be fully alive. Our vernacular may be similar to others but no one else is the whole of who we are. An intimate relationship with the vernacular of myself is what God makes room for on our daily dates. It grows and evolves as all language does. Over time as we learn to open the communication lines through understanding the vernacular of all of what makes us ourselves, the better capability exists for us to engage with others who have a different vernacular than us.
