The wind blows and the spirit moves

Have you ever prayed for opportunities?  Sometimes it helps to have a symbolic image to think about as we contemplate our prayer life and the answers we are seeking.  Imagine how the wind blows: we can't stop it with our hands when we stand outside...we can ignore it, but that doesn't make it go away.  When we pray for an opportunity: the spirit of life continues to blow around us.  Are we ignoring the spirit, or are we looking-watching-and paying attention.  The draft of the spirit is always swirling around us like a wind of opportunity.

Peace and Love to you all!
