I grew up in a house divided, not by politics or sports-ball teams but religion. Not even a fun division like one parent was Jewish and the other was Catholic. No, my mother was Pentecostal, and my father was Baptist. This meant they could agree on a great many things, but there was always a little sticking point: the Holy Spirit.
As a therapist dealing with complex PTSD (warriors and their families), I invited the Holy Spirit into the room, and asked for holy guidance. All the training in the world is often not enough to reach the wounds of my clients. I can tell you that often my words and approach were not my own doing. The healing spirit and aura in the room was not just for my client. I too was healed from hearing my client’s trauma. It was a magical and calming presence, and I am entirely grateful for the assistance in getting through my work.
This was beautiful. Thank you for sharing. God is so much above and beyond all things human beings can conceive of. Nonbinrary? Please, no sweat. God is something so beyond "nonbinrary" that for any human to suppose an understanding of God is a HUGE claim. I really love this idea of the Holy Spirit as feminine. Somewhere in Christianity, there must be room for both sexes, or else it loses its power as an explanatory framework for the world. I love the way you have flipped the script and made the world an explanatory framework for God. That's where we should be headed.

Technically speaking, didn’t Jesus have two Dads? I’ve often wondered ...
