Spiritual
Spiritual reflections
Ruach is the Hebrew word for ‘spirit’ and our own word for breath or wind is rooted in the word ‘inspire’. When we breathe in we inspire - we take in air. And of course we also use that word inspire in a different sense, that of getting inspiration (the fact that expiration means breathing out air and also dying is something we tend to ignore!). To get ‘light-bulb moments’ is therefore equated with taking in elements of the spirit.
In my journeying, ‘things of the spirit’ are the core of what I do, where I go and what I think - and at the least I can pray that the Spirit will continue to be the underlying force and presence of my life.
I am intrigued too by the fact that the Hebrew word for Spirit is a female noun. Hence all that follows in this section (click on the titles below) are rooted in the work of the Holy Spirit; in other words the pieces linked to this page are all ‘things of the Spirit’ - to do with spirituality in some way or another.
