Dear Friends,
When you think of the wind…what comes to mind? A cool, gentle breeze on a hot summer night? A strong, whipping wind reshaping the landscape of the winter snow? A forceful hurricane? Wind can be soothing, calming, cooling, warming but it can also be frightfully sudden and strong. We sure can’t see the wind but we can see and feel its effects. I believe the same holds true for the movement of the Spirit in and around us.
Sometimes the nudging and tugging of the Sacred on our hearts fills us with calming warmth – a knowing that we are deeply loved by our Creator just as we are. Sometimes those tuggings are more disturbing – to us. Those are the times we feel pulled to go out of our element – to try something new, to move in a new direction, to risk – for the sake of goodness. And sometimes it takes a very strong wind, so to speak, for the Spirit to get our attention. But…
The Breath of the Sacred calls to and is within us all. It doesn’t matter who we are, what beliefs we subscribe to, what our status or position in life may be, we are ALL infused with the Sacred Wind within and around. What are the signs in and around that will cause us to notice that just as “he breathed on them” (the disciples in John 20:22) he also breathes on us every single day?
Peace on the Journey
