This wind, 
in whichever place it is, 
is where the Higher and Lower Shekhinah are found, 
it is the Vav¹ that blows in the wings of the lung, 
and upon the heart. 
For it is there that: (Prov. 20:27) *A candle of Y”Y... 
*this is: ‘soul’ in the brain, 
‘spirit’ in the wings of the lung, 
‘animating-soul’ in the heart.

to be upon you, 
and She shall protect you.
