Brave the Weather
‘The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it, but you do not know whence it comes or whither it goes’ (Jn 3.8).
If you hear the wind, yet know neither whence it comes nor wither it goes, it’s because you have chosen to stay indoors behind double-glazed windows with your slippers and your cup of tea. In order to begin to live a spiritual life, we have quite simply to brave the weather.
The disciples first recognised Jesus as Son of God during a windstorm so mighty they were terrified (Mt 14.22-33). That is worth thinking about.
