The spirit of the air
In ancient times, long before the presence of humankind, the world was already inhabited. Spirits were in harmony with nature to compose creation. They appeared in a golden flash, and their presence acted like a charm upon woods and meadows.
The most aerial of them was the spirit of the air. Thanks to it, air supported bodies and made them so light that they could move across the world and face every adversity. And so I believe that we can still hear them, when we inhabit the world, by breathing with it.
The spirit of the air
A very long time ago, even before humans arrived on this earth, the world was already inhabited. There were genies, elves and spirits.
One of them was invisible. You could only feel it. It was the spirit of the air.
When it passed by, the leaves quivered. The trees breathed. Bodies became lighter.
The spirit of the air had no form, but it was very important. It was the one that helped the world to move. It pushed the clouds and made the thunder audible.
It is said that sometimes, when we stop for a moment and breathe deeply, it is still there. It does not speak. It does not show itself. But without it, nothing would be alive.
