Wind

Like our spirit, wind is invisible, yet we feel its effect. Sometimes, it blows a gentle breeze, light as a lover’s kiss; other times, it whips up a raging gale, howling like a banshee. The secret of wind is that it is the seeker of balance, the bridge between differences. Air always moves from an area of high pressure to low pressure. Similarly, our spirit detects variance – such as between a mediocre present and an aspirational future – and it responds by creating movement, a motivation to act. We become inspired from the Latin meaning to ‘breathe’ or ‘blow into’.
