How Do You Explain the Holy Spirit to Someone Who Knows Him Not?
How do you explain fire
to someone who has never warmed her hands over a blazing wood stove on a bitter winter night?
How do you explain anointing
to someone who has never been healed by a Mother's gentle touch?
How do you explain water
to someone who has never gazed at the sea and wondered what lies on the other side?
How do you explain wind
to someone who has never raised a sail and been sent to where she needs to be?
How do you explain clouds and Light
to someone who has never seen the sun's rays sing through the darkness after the violence of a storm?
How do you explain the dove
to someone who has never seen the purity of its whiteness
the graceful curves of its form
or heard the compelling coo of its call?
