spirit

the opening chapters of John's gospel account find Jesus repeatedly pointing-out a different and mostly neglected reality: that of the spirit

our failure to 'see' the spiritual rests solely with our almost-exclusive dependence on our soul, that intangible piece of us which relates through our senses - we see, we smell, we touch, we hear, we taste

the reach of Jesus extends us beyond the rational into the perception that lies within our hearts and speaks to our conscience. nutshelled, it resonates 'trust'; and it speaks to trust in the spirit of God who, like the wind, blows where she will. all we can do is trust the movement of the Spirit, forsaking sense.

that resonates 'genuine', the MeThatIAm reponds to the IAmThtaIAM, the imago dei resurrects, God-connectedness, God-awareness; God blowing through me, inspiring; windblown hair in an incredibly refreshing breeze, cleansing the soul of me

i am born from above
