hmmm...so.... how is the wind a good analogy for a spirit?
Wind is air in motion.
Air occupies a certain volume, you can compress it, for example, take a syringe, with no needle, covert the hole where you'd mount the needle with your finger.... press on the plunger and feel the pressure air exerts there.
Air is a gas, it may be invisible and odorless (if not contaminated) and tasteless, but you can hear it moving (sometimes - ever wondered where the term "wind instrument" comes from?) you can feel it touching you.
How is this a good analogy for a spirit, a god, or whatever you want it to be an analogy of?
