The wind is a great power which reckons truth against such things as trees and towers and human beings in motion. It will find you out, not by your stillness, but where you've been and where you hope to go. No one can be certain of its name, because north, east, south, west are tools of the traveler, not purposes of the spirit. And yet the wind will come to you as if the purpose of your inner mind, and will teach you which ground should be wet with tears and which should stay dry.
'Do you wish to be a survivor of the past or a servant of
the reborn?' is its first and only question. And you might cling to the trees
for support or shelter behind a tower. Which of your hearts is the survivor and
which is the servant? Can you dare to believe in the reborn?
At last the wind commands you, 'Stop! You are complete -
you are what the way has made you, not the way itself.' Then rain and tears
fall, not with distance, not compassion, just life-giving truth.
