I am moved by the wind. How it recites to me in whimsy the colors of the sunset, the secrets of the trees. I often laugh as it shares the giddiness of its antics; toying with the birds pushing them back as they labor forward then toppling trash cans and blaming raccoons. There is so much to learn if one eavesdrops thoughtfully and observes her variance. It takes patience to understand her divergent ways and I embrace each distinction. It fuels me on a quiet day. It satisfies me when I am lost.

Wind is like emotion. Gentle and calm one moment, tumultuous and destructive the next. Then healing and nurturing. Wind is an element that exists both inside and outside of ourselves. xo B
It truly is something existential and personal all at once. Thanks for sharing.
