A good wind, a good journey

In some ways, I love wind
sometimes it's warm, sometimes it's cold
it's invisible but we know it's there
ages ago sailors learned to harness the wind with a sail
they learned to use the invisible push of the wind swish to move!
no one would be stupid enough to argue the existence of wind, even back then
for they could see the results of the blowing air
it broke trees, it disturbed water
they could feel the strong gusts of something on their bodies
wind was the break-through invisible force!
It was.
you can't see wind but you can see the results of it
you can't see wind but you can feel it
you can't dismiss wind for invisibility because it moves things!
it lifts things!
it's a magical force we take for granted
but I love wind
it reminds me of love

    I think the sea drew all the bravest and most curious people in ancient times because they really had NO idea what was out there or whether they'd make it back alive but they went out on the boat anyway.

  • Love this one. My thoughts exactly.

    If only we could learn to respect the wind more and not test its strength... Or fuck people over with it.
