Truro artist and writer Regina Coupar has written this about Pentecost, "It has been my observation that a gentle spirit lives within each of us. We are born with it as creatures made in the image of God. This spirit often goes unnoticed because of the little attention paid to spirituality in our culture. It is a gentle voice that can be drowned out by the many other more dramatic and forceful voices around it. We need to know about this voice, so that we can look for it and nurture it. We long to be fulfilled and we need to understand that it is possible for us to be fulfilled when we look in the proper direction. Jesus said, "... the kingdom of God is within you." (Luke 17:21) The kingdom of God is within the grasp of all who respond.

"The pentecostal process is crucial to one's fulfilment. It is the food of our spiritual being. It changes us, not into a collective body of like souls, but into individual vessels that are enabled to carry the Spirit of God within. We are changed, but not changed into someone else. We are changed into ourselves, into the someone we were created to be. This is not an event; it is a continual process which prepares us for the continuity of our lives, in life, in death, and in life on the other side of death. We need to experience it now while we are alive in human form, so that we will continue to recognize it in the stages which follow." Coupar has also written this poem called "pentecost"

	when the Spirit
	touches us
	we become changed

	the new wine
	which is poured
	into each of us
	by the Spirit of God
	changes the vessel 
	which holds it

	where we were empty
	we become filled
        where we are dead
	we are brought to life

	where we were afraid
	we are afraid no more
