In the story of creation, a mighty “wind from God” sweeps over the unformed dark, deep space that God is about to transform (Gen 1:2). Biblical languages (Hebrew and Greek) closely link the word “wind” with the words “breath” or “spirit.” So “wind from God” could mean “spirit of God,” similar to the divine spirit that “breathed the breath of life” into the first human being (Gen 2:7). God’s spirit-wind also plays a powerful role in the exodus, the escape of the ancient Israelites from slavery in Egypt. With Egypt’s army in hot pursuit, the fleeing Israelites come to the Reed Sea, where “the Lord drove the sea back by a strong east wind all night, and turned the sea into dry land” so that the people could safely cross over (Exod 14:21-25). God had earlier appeared to the Israelites’ leader, Moses, in a mysterious “flame of fire out of a bush” at Mount Sinai (Exod 3:1-6) and guided the Israelites out of Egypt in a guiding “pillar of cloud by day and pillar of fire by night” (Exod 13:21-22). After crossing the Reed Sea, Moses returns with his people to Mount Sinai, where God makes another dramatic appearance, engulfing the mountain in smoke and fire and giving instructions (Exod 19:18), including the Ten Commandments.
Evoking these well-known precedents, the Pentecost account in Acts 2 is meant to mark God’s formation of a renewed community imbued with the power of the Holy Spirit.
Acts 2:2 = And suddenly there came a sound from heaven as of a rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting.
Acts 4:31 = And when they had prayed, the place was shaken where they were assembled together; and they were all filled with the Holy Ghost...
John 3:8 = The wind blows wherever it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with everyone born of the Spirit."

My bike died this Sunday. It was a good bike! I went out and bought another one, and I am on the road again. Here's to Williamsburg -- a true bicycle necropolis. Brooklyn, New York, July 27, 2015. Photo by Alecsey Boldeskul.
Here in Southeastern Utah, trailer homes are a popular housing option where boom and bust economies exist. In some areas, an old trailer, and or an old kitchen appliance, and or dead cars are part of the landscape and can even be considered sort of religious icons or art projects as they get traded around between family members and close friends.
I have my own trailer, (sans old kitchen appliances and dead cars) acquired years back to serve as a quiet/artistic space away from the "flying f**ks" and drywall dust that banged and floated around the house while we were remodeling our home. It now serves as storage for boating and camping gear.
On stormy evenings, when the setting sun peeks through clouds, the trailer's door and windows glow an other-worldly gold with the white siding fading to blue. The scene always seems to present itself at times when I'm cooking dinner or too tired and lazy to pick up the camera.
Last week, while photographing storm clouds, I went to the back of the house for possible rainbow views and saw the gold without any rainbow and decided to dance a little with ICM and Multiple exposure.
It's amazing what you find when you look.
