Look Closer
Pneuma = Spirit = Wind

"For human beings
the spiritual and the practical are,
and should be, inseparable.
Alone, practicality becomes dangerous;
spirituality, alone, becomes feeble and pointless.
Alone, either becomes dull.
Each is the other’s discipline, in a sense,
and in good work the two are joined."
(Wendell Berry)
VF Footnote: In seminary, we were taught that in one of the biblical languages, a word for wind and spirit is one and the same. Pneuma. Perhaps so also a connection exists between the spiritual and the practical, as Wendell Berry seems to more than suggest.
