| Last night the wind tore the leaves off of our trees. The roaring sound of it consumed the night, and sent the leaves swirling across our yard. They would settle for a while, only to be carried away by a stronger gust of wind. No wonder so many song writers and authors see wind as symbolic of God's spirit. Wind invigorates, it changes the shape of things, and like the leaves on my yard, it sweeps everything away and the next day we start with a clean slate. That's God's spirit, giving us God's grace. How many times is God revealed in creation? Savor these words by Sister Miriam Therese Winter:
