Clairvaux Manifesto, page 29
(quote) Spirit; Geist; Pneuma; Rhuah; Breath. When we seek God like a drowning soul longs for air, we’ll find God. In the beginning, God got down into the dust and breathed the shell of a man to life. Second time around, God himself became dust. When does God breathe life into himself? Who is God that he should need and receive breath from God’s self? God humbled himself in every way. Mary nurtured God. Joseph, his surrogate father, needed to obey an angel to save all their lives. From his first breath, Jesus of Bethlehem was a thirsty little refugee clinging to the edge of the human condition.

Maybe that is why so many in our culture don't "get" Jesus of The Bible. They need to think of Him only as King, ruling some Kingdom.
They may not understand that the rules of His Kingdom are in keeping with His Humble Nature. They may not see the need, nor want to humble themselves as a child, to receive such a One.
