From the indistinct waters of the ocean, we now lift up our eyes to the unseen and omnipresent winds.
Symbolically, the Winds are first and foremost supernatural manifestations.
In Ancient Cultures they were identified with specific deities or wills of the gods. In Ancient Greece for instance, the harsh north wind Boreas abducts the daughter of the Athenian King Erechtheus – Oreithyia – and takes her to the Thrace, whilst the soft western wind Zephyr brings Psyche to Eros, the God of Love.
In the Bible, in the Ancient as well as the New Testament, the wind is often identified with the breath of God – and consequently his voice.
In the beginning of Times, it is said that the voice of God hovers over the surface of the indistinct primeval waters and that it is this wind that fertilizes the waters – the verb enabling the rest of the creation to manifest itself.
Yet, in many popular cultures, also emerges the view that takes the wind for the embodiment of transience and frivolity of men.
We seem then to see two visions collide : the vagabond winds of passion against the powerful verb of God.
Now you take the floor : what do you associate with the Winds?
The winds are very strong entitys.They transport sound,seeds,etc.They bring cold and warm wether.I remember that grandmother had in Romania for the northwind the name Crivatul(she feard him),the westnwind name was Austrul,I think the easten was Baltaretul and suden i forgot it.Important for me as a child was the feelig what she gave to me when she spoke about them :very respectful like she spoke about high personalitys.

“What do you associate with the Winds?”
Indigestion?
As a child the wind carried the smell of the Sea for me. It was the dinner bell as the smell of food floated softly down the hill to where I would play outside. A gust of wind would bring the heat closer as when I would sit near an open fire. It is a magic catalyst that intensifies everything around it.

minha pequena homenagem para um grande homem
UM ABRAÇO E FICA COM DEUS ELE ESTA COM NOS
oi, acabei de ler uma entrevista sua e levantei da cama (agora são 21:49 hrs, em BH)para descobrir mais sobre você.Eu confesso que , apesar da entrevista ser sobre o seu novo livro,o que motivou a minha pesquisa foi ter lido ” sou mais dependende da internet do que eu assumo” … acho engraçado como pequenas coisas despertam nosso interesse.Comecei aprocurar um blog, e achei este em inglês … posso comentar em português ?? Penso que assim é mais espontâneo.Acho que a curiosidade vai me trazer aqui mais vezes …
wind is cleansing…open vast and filled with
tumultous turns…winds are about air power
vs gravitational earth secutity. Going with the flow and leaving the known to be swept ready or not by the power of force! Like spirituality,dreams and passion.
I associate emotions expression with winds. Wind is how the air expresses its emotions.Happy, fresh, sad, angree,….
I also feel that winds pass through angles !!! Blieve me, L have talked to my angle.
I think that the wind is great! Have you ever been to Medugorje in Bosnia-Herzegovina? I love your books!!!!
Winds whisper the memories of past years, and most often, when they blow ever so softly during afternoons when the Sun is just about to set, my heart aches for long ago, to the time of my childhood, of wide horizons and carefree days.
I associate wind with the ultimate love and wisdom. All the words of wisdom and love have already been said infinite times on earth and the words are still carried around by the wind. Our consious mind does not recognize them anymore but unconsious still hears and understands them. The stronger the wind is the more concentrated the wisdom and love are. Hence, the harder the wind the more I enjoy it.

I was looking at the trees I can see from my opened window one night. I felt like talking to them, so I concentrated on one at each time, said hello and the wind made them wave back at me. So I suppose wind is like the voice of the world. How ever mute or loud, and even if we can’t hear it, we can read its language through movement.
Wind is also like time, you can’t see it, but you can see the causes of its touch. Wind is like the neverending movement that keeps the universe going. The energy of creation. Life force. Then what keeps the wind moving? Magnetism, I suppose.
I associate wind with Tara – Buddha of wisdom and compassion. She is very swift in her actions, like wind. She always helps very quickly whenever I turn to her. She is a Mother, or maybe it is better to say she is one of the many manifestations of the Great Mother. The Great Mother manifested herself for me in a form of Buddha Tara. The compassion of the mother for her child is so great that she immediately responds to the cry. She can not bear a thought of her child suffering. Her action will be swift like the wind to take away any pain.
Acho que estarei eternamente em busca do prazer em qualquer tipo de trabalho que esteja fazendo, já que eu não posso trabalhar naquilo que mais tenho prazer que é o palco. A procura do prazer em qualquer área que esteja atuando é muito prazeroso pois os desafios diários deixam-me exitada!
Gyspy winds whisper fortunes, breathing into the landscape so that it dances the dance of life or marching ashore like Katrina bringing the black procession.
Wind is a force; Its only constant, change.

Forgive me for digressing somewhat from the specific subject at hand, but I would really appreciate some views and opinions on an observation that I have made. While we are repeatedly told to think positively, to visualize our desires and in general to assume that our wishes will be granted, I have personally not found these techniques to work for me. Specifically, it is when I imagine the worst, and when I am worried or pessimistic about an outcome that all turns out quite well. I have used this technique all my life and achieved quite a bit of success. Has anyone else made this observation ?. Again, any views and opinions would be very much appreciated.

The enveloping wind is for me a source of wonder and comfort I don’t anticipate or fear it just have a complete respect for it’s mighty powers, I love the sounds, movement and energy of it I like the vulnerability of being encircled by it, the cold winter chills the warm spring breezes the hot summer blows and all it’s other hues
Born out of genesis this captive energy has been roaming the earth ever since reveling the sounds of past and present, the whispers of birth the pleas and laughs of countless generations.
The winds bring the echoes of times to our reality and if we listen attentively we can hear the rushing of the first waters grooving the earth forming the rivers and seas we can hear the sound of the first light exploding into existence.In constant transformation and evolution the wind never dies just merges and renew earths energies ,like a breath to a heart beat.
In perpetual movement this movers and shakers in nature are the guardians of the invisible world where all possibilities are a reality .
It is a merciless implacable force but I love the wind ,it’s ever present in my life, just same days again I was whirled all night in winds up to 120 klmh which unfortunately brought the death of one of my peacocks, such is the price of our existence.

voice. or simply words. several years ago, i had a spiritual dream. the voice said ‘do you believe in God?’ before answering, i opened my eyes because i felt wind on my right ear. very soft wind though. like whispering. so i associate wind with voice. also i am taking voice training now. before singing, i have to practice breath control. i feel like i am in harmony with air while doing so.
