Our church always ties helium balloons to the pews for Pentecost, and people have forgotten why--they think it is a celebration. But I think surely it must be to show the wind moving the balloons--to highlight the negative spaces in between, to show the Breath of God.
We can't see it, but the Kingdom of Heaven is all around us, in the Negative spaces in between.
