Who has seen the wind.

What does the wind look like?
Does it have a smell?

We know how it feels, tastes and sounds. But what of the other two senses?

It exists. We know that because of its effects. A leaf bouncing around, chaotically swirling in the direction of the air current. We see the dust balls, the papers moving. We hear it as it howls through the branches. It tastes like a slight touch of lavender mixed with a sliver of mint dashed with a pinch of salt.

We don't see it, but it exists. No one questions it.

What does love look like?
Does it have a smell?

We know how it feels, tastes and sounds. But what of the other two?

It exists. We know that because of its effects. A fluttering heart that skips a beat when we experience it. The touch of a two lovers holding hands as they slowly stroll through the park. We hear and say the words, "I love you", so we know the sound of love. The compliments, the playful laugh, the fluttering eyes, the pierced lips.

The effects of love are easy to see, but to see love itself is impossible. But we easily make the association.
Just like the wind.

What does God look like?
Does He have a smell?
How does He feel?
What does He taste like?
What is His voice sound like?

We see effects of God. But we can't see, touch, hear, smell or taste him directly, so it's harder for some of us to understand that He actually exists.

Yet we know there is wind and we believe in the construct of love.

Who has directly seen the wind?
Who has directly seen God?

The signs are all there. It's just a choice we make. Close our eyes and pretend not to see them, or open up and allow it to enter your belief system.

But if you deny that there is a Supreme Being, it's as absurd as denying the existence of the wind.
