Another Answer:
A word used for spirit is 'pneuma' meaning breath or wind. It is one of a couple of words used to describe God's Holy Spirit - sustaining all things. Consider that wind is moving air and that fresh air is necessary for life. Most all seeds require wind for their dispersal and subsequent growth. In the same way, God's Holy Spirit is the source of all life and is needed by everything/one - especially we humans in order to continue onwards becoming spiritual sons and daughters in the God Family. So wind is an apt analogy for God's awesome sustaining power.
