to know the Wind
I must have an unmediated meeting with the Wind
such meetings with the Wind, in varied forms,
are always initiated by the Wind
the Wind blowing upon me, moving within my sight
is the Wind revealing Itself
being touched by the Wind, seeing the Wind, two means
of a single revelation
do not tell Grace
how it is to show Itself to you
leave open all potential means
for the Beloved to open the Living Book before you ~
the Book may lead you to learn wisdom forbidden by your past
by the self-revealing of the Wind
directly one knows the Wind, a single knowing
~ the Wind knowing you, you knowing the Wind ~
most oft, one learns, knowing about the Wind
as preparation for intimacy with the Wind
religion, generally, takes one to the threshold of Truth
from that point, one must go alone with the Alone
like fire, those who warm by the Fire, teach others to warm by the Fire
those ardently in Love, pray to be food for the Flames
when consumed in this benevolent, merciless Burning
one is Fire by Fire ~ being Love by Love
knowing about and Intimacy are both of Grace
we are loved as we welcome being Loved
Then he breathed upon them, saying,
"Receive the holy Spirit."
