Using the wind or a current of air to remove the chaff from the wheat can be a metaphor for removing the bad from the good. Sometimes we need to allow a cleansing air blow through our minds to remove the worthless from the valuable.
We must recognize the chaff in our minds, that which is unhealthy, nonproductive, untrue, and bad for us, that which is holding us back from our potential and narrowing our view of life. Perhaps something or someone in our past is still surrounding our thinking, preventing us from recognizing the wheat, the seed of truth which we need for sustenance and growth. Perhaps we are holding on to a protective covering for comfort, not wanting to face facts. We may be holding on to a philosophy or a relationship that needs to be improved or dismissed.
We need to keep the good, that which is healthy, those grains that help us survive, take root in reality and blossom. Find a wind of fresh air, a personal method of determining what should remain and what should be discarded.
