Reborn
The breath, the wind and the spirit
obey their own mysterious moods
and their own harmonious laws.
When you hear their voices
and feel their touch,
you know they exist without a doubt.
But you do not understand
how they came together,
how they rise and fall as they
pass over and through the earth.
Just as mysterious seems
the movement and the purpose
of every human being
who has returned to the Source
and been reborn from the Great Dark
through the power of breath and of spirit.
~ from the original Aramaic of Jesus’ words (as reported in John 3:8) translated by Neil Douglas-Klotz in The Hidden Gospel
