'PNEUMA' from Greek: breath, spirit, wind; related to 'pnein' to blow, breathe.
The cosmos is permeated in all of its parts by a divine pneuma that makes it alive, coherent, sentient and rational. The poet who can invoke this pneuma can see into a shared animating force all around him, from vegetable life to the stars.
“Everything breathes;
everything hinges on the moment
between the taking in and the letting out,
and the letting go.”
Eagles symbolize spirit, freedom, and self-expression.
