Inspired by Myra Scovel’s poem, “Put Yourself in the Path of the Wind, Nicodemus.” 
The Japanese character for wind is visible in the central figurative shape.

So Is Everyone That Is Born Of The Spirit

“Where does the wind come from, Nicodemus?”
“Rabbi, I do not know.”
“Nor can you tell where it will go.

Put yourself into the path of the wind,
Nicodemus.
You will be borne along
by something greater than yourself.
You are proud of your position,
content in your security,
but you will parish in such stagnant air.

“Put yourself into the path of the wind,
Nicodemus.
Bright leaves will dance before you,
You will find yourself in places
you never dreamed of going;
you will be forced into situations
you have dreaded
and find them like a coming home.

“You will have a power you never had before,
Nicodemus.
You will be a new man.
Put yourself into the path of the wind.”
