B"H (B'ezrat HaShem - with the help of HaShem). "A wind lifted me up and I heard behind me a great, rushing sound: May the glory of HaShem be blessed (and increasingly revealed and drawn forth) from its hidden place. A spirit (of prophesy) lifted me up and I heard the mighty rushing sound of those who utter praises, saying: HaShem's glory is continually blessed from the place of the abode of His Shekhinah" (The Breslov Siddur, Weekday, p155). Sometimes we just need to look up. To see and acknowledge the beauty and magnificence of our Creator. Sometimes we have to gently push aside all that seeks to draw us in and take us away from the potential for peace and serenity. In the midst of the mad rush of life, soothing winds that are gathered, away from it all, bring us a sense of relief and calm in the storm. There is so much that is beyond us, yet, so much that can bring us the inner peace. The winds of holiness, soothing winds in His presence, wherever we are. We only have to take the time to look, and to seek out His soothing winds in the words of His Torah, in our thoughts of Him, in our prayers and conversations we have that draw us closer. Closer to Him, and cleansed of the world. This is written from a personal Jewish/Noahide perspective without the idolatry of xianity or any religion (note: Judaism isn't a religion, it's a covenant with HaShem). At the end, there are resources for additional research and growth. Baruch HaShem!
